If you import a Marcos (as was suggested in an earlier email), you may wish to bring the car into the US without the engine. This reduces taxes and import requirements. Then you have to repower and move through the registration process (in most states you are classified as a hot rod). I've looked into this, but in CA the registration process is real hard, although one member in our group in LA did this when he returned for England with his Marcos.
I've been told the import per the Fed has to be a 1971 or earlier. When I was looking into this I, needed to clear the Fed Gov to bring the car parts (car with no engine) into CA. Then the registration in CA is based on the engine numbers, all emissions equipment and test results then are build around that engine. In CA this buts you back in a 1972 or earlier engine before things start to get real complex.
Best of luck I've owned 5916T since 1975 and the car is still very high on the fun-performance/cost curve!
Thanks
