Got this email today, thought I'd post it up for you to add your thoughts:
( I also thought he means NOT a problem since it is over 25 years )
I've been in the UK for more than two years working on a Boeing project in Gosport, England. Planning to return to Wallingford, PA soon. Would like to bring back my 1980 Series III SWB which I bought last November.
I found an importer which appears to be reputable, Hill Shipping/Trans Global Auto Logistics. Fran Markowitz at Mini Obsession recommended them.
I found a mechanic in Kennett Square who appears to be reputable. I stopped by to meet Jon Palita when I was home on annual leave in August. Jon can do the PA state safety inspection. No emissions test required.
I spoke to Howard Marder at the Customs House about the import paperwork. He told me there would be a problem since it is more than 25 years old.
My only remaining question is about registering it in PA. Are there any problem registering a RHD car in PA? I don't want any kind of a restricted registration like "antique." I would like to drive it to work in Ridley each day.
I've attached on photo of my truck from a year ago. Have added some driving lamps since then, but it basically looks the same.
Plan to join your club as soon as I get back.
