[s-cars] Importing an Audi S2...questions

[Trevor Frank]

Odd it says that the smart car isn't eligible but I know that Sun
Microsystems has one that they drive on the street.

Hi,

I heard the same a while ago. I understood it allows some people to
import Jaguar XJ220 / McLaren F1 / Bugatti EB110.
The limitation is something like less than 10000 miles per year.

Regards,
Frederic

A major importer

There are some new DOT rules that allow selected cars to be imported and
run on the city streets with little or no modifications.  The catch is
that it can only be driven for a certain number of miles a year and I
think you have to prove/claim that it is something special.  HMM I
wander what would happen if your odometer stopped turning, would it be
wrong to stop driving it.  I think this is how everyone finally got the
959's on the street.

I don't know about you guys, but I think the costs of converting a 90CS
to a S2 is pretty cost prohibitive for a car that is subject to all the
teething problems of a conversion. Tom Vanderhoort has spent how much on
his ersatz S2?

So why does this seem so simple to me? Why couldn't I purchase the
cheapest CLEAN title B3 Audi 90 20V, and purchase a LHD S2, and transfer
all the required registration info to the S2? Some of you guys might
say, "because you have no money." This is true...but speaking as if I
will have money some day...why isn't this feasible?

I'm sure this has been done...right guys?
