Seeing that Dr. Hamley's 916 is in the U.K., the buyer is going to have to import it. Now I'm not gonna be the buyer, but I've long been interested in what it takes to bring a classic car into the U.S. I read a lot of the VW magazines and it's clear that there are lots of cars that make the journey both ways across the Atlantic. Since Europe is my preferred place to vacation, I just might run across something on one of my trips that I'd like to bring home. What does it take?

I am no expert, but I have looked into this before, and it is a serious pain in the ass...and very expensive:
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/imports/factmtop.htm get friendly with the EPA requirements if you ever think about importing a car, there are several different ways to import vehicals, and you might be able to get a show car license, but if you violate the restrictions they can take the car from you and DESTROY it! So be sure you read up and talk to some people before going ahead with anything. HTH, Tony |
