Are there any TVR's here? If so can someone let me know the issues and costs of importing from the UK? If not is there a reason apart from costs?

Thanks

As for importing, I believe that any car over 15 years can be imported without hassle, but check first!

Thanks for the replies. I would be looking at trying to get a 4.5 Cerbera over, is there any reason why this should be an issue apart from a cost perspective and RHD?

I looked into this with my Chim & and Alfa I had - to take to Gthe USA - GA.........rediculously expensive! There isn't any type approval for the TVR's so you could drive them on your foreign licence/passport for one year.......there's loads of info on the DMV website.

I gave up with the TVR and thought the Alfa would be OK - then I read it would need to go through inspections - CATS, warning lights, impact bars, bumpers, US ride height etc.....

There was one guy who had imported a Cerb to San-Francisco, but I think he was using the foreign passport/dl thing........I tried to contact him but without any luck.....

There is a dark green L reg Griffith down the road from me (Waterloo, Ontario), no idea who owns it.

I would love to import a Griffith, it's relatively easy for any car over 15 years old, no restrictions really. So if you could get hold of a 96/97 Cerbera you would be able to import it in 2011. Although I'm not sure where you would get body panels from though if you crashed it.
