TVR holiday in the USA
Discussion
I'm due to "retire" from my current employment late next year and am thinking about taking a 3 month break and doing my ultimate American road trip before returning to the working population. I've looked into hiring a modern mustang or similar(too new for me)or hiring a classic corvette but the t&c's are way too restrictive for my plans. Thought about buying something interesting at the start of the trip and selling at the end but the legislation makes it impossible to do legally.........so has anyone knowledge or experience of shipping a car over and bringing it back for a tour?
Thanks in advance Bubbles

Cheers people,
After some searching i found a few great threads including one from some Caterham owners who have actually done it so i now know it's possible. Looking at costs it's actually much cheaper than i thought it would be for the shipping etc, still significant but less than some people pay for a holiday, so not just a pipe dream and a definite goer. Will let you know how it goes.

Hi Barry,
I've got a handle on most of the requirements now but as mentioned above insurance is proving to be the challenge at the moment. I have found a couple of American companies who will provide cover but it's not particularly cheap and was wondering what you guys did regards this (you can email or pm me if you prefer).
Cheers.
