How to import Smart Roadster?

[jimvw57]

Ummm You probably don't know but I used to own a bunch of Corvairs....My favorite was a 1966 Corsa with 4-1 barrel carbs. Amazing how much of those cars were put together using a 9/16 wrench. I never left home without one. Also modified a few vehicles in my day. It might end up with a Hemi in it....

Jim, what a coincidence; owned a 66 Corsa as well (one of three Corvairs at different times.) Still have the 4x1 carb setup.

Beverly Hills Motorcars has a slightly modded roadster on their lot. (NOT SOLD YET!!! )

Me likey very much!!!

P.S. to anyone who might buy this car, the rear bumper valence is missing, I'd ask about it or order another one

Sorry, had to wipe the drool off my shirt. Sweet looking. My question is, how did they manage to get it into the country and be able to license/title it??? Pretty expenive for a 5 year old car with 65,000 (KM?) on it.

The gauges are still euro spec but I believe they've been modded to read mph and not kmph. Me likey very much!!!

New development: according to I guess BHM got tired of roadsters now... this roadster was never able to be driven on the streets, NOT modified to be licensed or titled in the US of A. This makes their price tag way out of line.

I should've posted their original description. Originally they posted on the site that it was road legal and modded so it was legal in CA. I guess a little white lie, huh?

Forget about it! Sell it in Germany and use that money to buy a Lotus when you get here!
