If there was enough interest I might be able to lay my hands on a few GT4’s & maybe a GT4 WRC or 2 & get them over to the US.

That GT4 racing the 911 race car is Tony's from Fensports if memory servers me correct that car is something else you should see the spec of it!!!!

In Japan the GT4's & the GT4 WRC's go for the same money around 300,000 Yen which is roughly about £4,500 sterling or $2,700 USD YES $2,700 USD!!!!
& thats for a Grade 4 GT4/GT4 WRC which is mint & when I say mint I mean MINT 70,000K on the clock not a dent or scratch anywhere M I N T all over so clean you wouldnt want to drive it unless it was wrapped up in cotton wool.

Get the picture????

But then you have to pay custom charges, TAX, V.A.T, Shipping, Insurance & then getting it road legal.

But I cant see it being any more then around 8K or 9K tops.

I was told right hand drive cars are not allowed in the US but as I said I don't know I am only saying what I have been told.

Yeah they made them in left hookers but the spec is much lower then the right hooker Jap imports.

As for the EGR systems in the UK our emission control levels are way stricter then the US ones so I've been told so that shouldnt be a problem & also they have to make allowances for older car’s.
Emission standards were more for controlling the cars of the future, saying that in the UK they did change it & killed off the Escort Cosworth when it was in it’s prime… A black day in the car history that event mad.gif frown.gif mad.gif
