        Right hand drive blows in non right hand drive countries.

        Im talking on a day to day basis driving it and trying to look around corners, etc.

        Badass car though.

        Keep in mind the value over there will be less than here, so don't pay USA pricing for a touring.

          Definitely a cool car. Would be cooler if it were left hand drive.

                  petrol and gas are the same thing, we just call it different names. like soda vs pop.. and you get it shipped over and it gets checked out, they make sure its up to US emissions and inspection and you get it registered. same way you would if you got a car shipped from across the country.

                    Petrol thing was a joke. And I don't think it's that easy for a car that is younger than 25 years. Not sure what sort of luck you'd have with this 25 year old car though. RHD Touring would definitely be unique.

                          depending on the build month this would quality as a 25 year old. See if he can include a rust free rear hatch, make sure all the interior trim particularly for the rear deck are included, if not see if you/he can track them down on ebay.uk prior to shipment. Good luck would be super cool to bring over.

                            L, what has been your process on registering Grey Markey Vechicles of 25+ years? I'm pretty curious.
