Has anybody done this lately or planning too? I am in EU for 18 months and looking for a good candidate to drive while here and then ship back. LHD TVR would be ideal but really hard to find. Also maybe manual S8 or 7 series.Trying to think of a nice car to use that would then be rare back in the US.

Don't forget to account for how much hassle the upkeep/maintenance would be for a model never sold in the US. Unlikely to be insurmountable, but bear it in mind.
Its actually not hard. No harder to get a TVR part in US that a Lotus part in reality smile

Lots of cars start to increase in value once they get close to the 25 year rule. Quite a lot of Integrale's and Skylines recently imported to US for example.

So after some research I am thinking maybe an Alfa 156 GTA. Seems to be some good LHD rust free ones.
