So the restriction is 500 miles per annum. Seems odd to me , either you say they allowed on the road or they aren't.

That's not what I read on Wikipedia.

2500 miles and

The Coalition also recommended the elimination of the annual mileage statement requirement, as such a statement would not accurately reflect on-road mileage for vehicles that are also used off of public roads. Both recommendations were incorporated into the final wording of the statute, though the NHTSA retains the right to inspect an imported vehicle for the purpose of verifying mileage.

I may have just read the 1st part. Are there any in the US or just rest of world

The fact that it is on that list suggests that there is at least one in the US, as someone has gone to the effort to apply for it to be approved for import.
