Ed,
when I was about to import my Bond Equipe from Canada I did have some
concerns also.
I checked with the local motor vehicle department (in FL) and the only
thing that they cared
about was a valid title and bill of sale -- provided the car was at least
20 years old. It sailed through registration without any problems (no
inspection required...yee ha). Coming across the border was not a bother
either. The owner (who delivered it) just said that he was bringing it to a
mechanic in the US to have some work done on it. I'm not sure of the ethics
involved here, but I didn't have any problems. My advice is to check with
your local DMV. Canada has some great cars that were never allowed here --
and at bargain prices.
Dano in Daytona (hopefully soon to have a Herald based Bond
Equipe GT4s)
