Has anyone brought in a roadster to the USA?? They look like cool cars.

At least one person, I saw a yellow one in Monterey once

There are a few here in the states. Beverly Hills Motorsports has imported a few that I know of and a guy down in Huntington Beach also had a silver roadster.

There must be more than one Roadster in the USA then as I have brought my 2005 Brabus Roadster Coupe over from the UK.

If the links work here are some photos of my Roadster.

This last one is a general view of the engine modifications last time I took the whole back off.

If the links have not worked go the Gallery and look there

Hi Uk!
I wonder if you could give us some tips on how to import a roadsters to the states.
I know there is a company that will do the modifications in order to pass DOT laws...but I look very expensive to me.
Thanks
Gus

I too am investigating the possibility of doing this. I've seen a few of them here, but didn't have an opportunity to find out what they went through.

Any advice would be appreciated!

He has posted elsewhere that the car is not "imported" in the true sense. He's here with NATO and can have the car in the US for the duration of his assignment; then it's shipped home. Our military folks have the same option when assigned to the UK.
