1955 PORSCHE SPYDER
I've been looking for one of these as a project for a long time. here's the short version, legality-wise.
you can import one as a titled car, no prob, subject to the usual inspections.
you can import a kit only for which you must show paperwork that you bought the kit from a retailer. then assemble and have inspected.
you CANNOT import one as a partially assembled kit. when I spoke to customs they told me this meant if anything is bolted to anything else, no go. doors hung? nope. body bolted to a frame? nope.
he told me 'off the record' that transport canada does not want these cars on the road in canada so customs is directed to not give any leeway in importation.
if it could be done I'd be there. there's a 550 and an RSK sitting in colorado that I've been trying to figure out how to get them into the country. but the bodies are assembled and on the frames. no luck yet.
