It went smoothly, but took 9 months. It took a few months just for the EPA to let it leave the dock in Port Hueneme. I had to get the speedo and headlights changed, and get it smogged, which you won't have to do.
You could call Peter at Van Cafe in Santa Cruz and ask him about registered importers. He may have a cheaper and better recommendation than Barry Taylor.

Ah! My uncle probably knows of Van Café as he has an '87 Syncro.
Thanks, I'll follow up on those leads if I can find resolution to the above issue.
Presumably you were able to find a way around this pre '68 rule because a similar model was available in the US at the time?
