my mates just inported 3 good cars from the states that were inspected by independant valuation companys in texas and st louis, 2 are fine but one that was restored in 08 has thrown up a few problems on the mot.. nothing that we cant sort but what was classed as good over there is just not up to our standards... :mytwocents:


What cars are they Rich, got a mate here who recently brought over a 55 chevy and a 59 chevy belair, both cars needed work but were drivable.
I'm still getting the two 1950s cars mot'ed, the fact there used for weddings is reason enough :lol: got a ticket on the 56 last week :thumbright:
