QUOTE(Howard @ Mar 15 2004, 07:24 AM) Benno, Does it make sense to export the California cars to EU? Is there a real market? While generally in better shape here, many have been 'improved' by their owners. Carbs replacing FI, wider wheels, later suspension, etc. They are not cars for purists, but are fun drivers. Can we make some money and preserve the breed at the same time? I know a bunch of old SL's and early V8 MB coupes and converts have headed back. Are any smog/safety regulations waived on older cars? The CA cars are loved for their rust free status, and there 'might' be some money in doing some reimport to germany/europe but I doubt it. US 'restored' cars are known here for their nice bodywork (read: bondo sculpture) Off course not all of them are but some how most imported CA 914's are hell holes full of bondo... they seem to import all the wrong ones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Maybe a little export of relatively rust free chassis or bodyparts might work out. Plus the market over here is much smaller than the one overthere... I've seen 914's being sawed in two by you guys which are in a much better shape then the 914's that are being restored here. I do sometimes envy you US people for haveing all the good stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) anyways.. oh and one more thing you don't have to worry about smog regulations or anything the rules that were applicalble in the year the car was manufactured is the one it has to pass, for the Netherlands that means no (or very little) restrictions. greetings Jacco Delft, the Netherlands |
