If the car was not legal originally in the US and does not have type certification, (crash tests , US regs etc), then you are SOL. I have seen a few older TVRs in the US, but you need to check very carefully if the car is going to be importable at all.

Someone has one out there http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

I also know someone who has one of two Griffith 500's out there so there must be a way.

I think it can be done, I believe there is a trick, something about importing with car the engine removed (like an uncompleted kit car) but I haven't looked into it any further!

You can take it on UK plates for the first 12 months. Just the same as driving into France or taking a car over the border from Canada.

Isn't there a way around by classing them as show cars or similar with a low miles limit on use? I remember reading about people like Bill Gates using it as a way to own non compliant super cars.
