Re: Curious - US law vs RHD (ie UK spec) cars
Bringing a Euro car into US emissions spec is very expensive unless it is a classic (read old). As far as driving in the UK, had a manual rental in Ireland and it was a blast to drive with the bushes whipping in the left window and those crazy round-abouts. it took about 20 miles to get the hang of it and I drove all over the island for a week. It would be spectacular to have a Brit car over here, but not worth the import headaches.
On the other hand, $800-1000 to ship to Europe (say Amsterdam) could be a bucket list dream. Ship the roadster over and spend 3 months touring all over the continent. Then ship her home. Problems - go see a Mercedes dealer. Last time I rented a car for 15 days there it cost $700, so two way shipping could be a bargain. I would just have to look into European insurance. Anyone...maybe a service person...have any experience doing this??
