If I understand things correctly, it was not a "roller" and it was not
a RS2 model vehicle.
Those who are stating "facts" about importation of vehicles need to
add that those "facts" are only their lay person interpretation of
federal regulations and hearsay gathered from the internet, or get
some real facts from a registered importer or attorney qualified to
opine on these matters.
These vehicles are not "banned" from importation. But, no one said it
would be easy or inexpensive. You just have to be willing to pay a RI
to modify the vehicle where necessary to meet all federal regulations,
certify it for EPA emissions requirements, and do all the paperwork,
And, be prepared to abandon the project if the RI finds an obstacle
they can't overcome in the time limits the feds allow. Bringing the
vehicle to the US does not guarantee success in federalizing it,
since those restrictions mean it is not eligible for any of the
exceptions to the rules, which is going to make it an expensive project.
I think that means nobody here is going to legally import one to the
US for another 10 years.
