Sounds like Vermont and New Hampshire....if there is  no OBD port, then 
there can be no smog check. I've never had anyone look under  the hood for 
original equipment.

At this  time the Smog check in NY is the inspection station plugging into
the OBD  II port which goes by land line to DMV in Albany for approval.
Approval  means no check engine light indicators; the State might be 
checking
other  things too.  No tail pipe sniffing at this time.

All other  vehicles are visually checked for smog equipment by year of the
vehicle;  must comply with USA regulation.   New York City area could  be
different; I don't live there and as always the State requirements  change
regularly.

What time frame is your move?

On the Range Rover....I believe that most  states do  not smog test vehicles
built before 1976. So, that might be  worth checking on in  NY and might
influence your decision on year to  purchase.

hello   all,

firstly, apologies for my limited participation as of late,  my  life has
been
rather busy over the last few months.   secondly,  apologies that this email
is not really tiger  related.

at the end of  the year i will be moving from england to  new york and i'm
hoping to tap  the knowledgeable tiger community to  assist with a couple of
general  questions.

i intend to bring  two or three cars with me which poses two  problems.
living in the  city, I will not have space for a workshop so i'm  hoping to
rent some  space nearby to keep one or two cars and my tools and  spares.   
i
will need the space of a 2-4 car garage with power that is   fairly
accessible
from manhatten.  maybe in new jersey   somewhere?  any tips on how to find
this or if anyone on the list  can  help out directly i'd be most grateful.

secondly, while the  tiger is  left hand drive and historic, so should
present
no  problems,  one  other car in particular might cause some  difficulties
bringing it into the  US.  this is my right hand  drive 2003 mini cooper s.
in the UK it is  fully legal and passes  emissions (just) but with 270hp it
might present a  problem  registering it in the US.  does anyone know the
rules on   importing modern cars and registering cars in new york state?
both
stock  and modified?  i have at least added the horrible 'side   markers'
which
i know are a US requirement and the bodywork is  completely  stock.

i'm also looking for a mark 1 range rover  (range rover classic)  to bring
over but i'm unsure if there is any  date cut-off that would make  it easier
or harder to register.   they made these between 1970 and  1994!  any advice
would be most  appreciated.

-   owain.
