Kit cars from US to Canada
Can you buy a completed kit Cobra in the US, and take it to Canada for license and title it there. My neighbor is from Canada and says that you can not do this, does anyone have any info?
|
Pretty sure he's right. Even importing the kit is a nightmare and has to be done in multiple parts, i.e. minus the suspension etc.
|
No, No, No, No. Mark Logan deals with the Canadian market for Shelbys and Superformances, he's at Nevada Classics.

Thanks , I'll tell my neighbor about Nevada Classics

It is not possible to legally import a completed kit car -- Cobra or other -- into Canada, unless it was completed more than 15 years ago (and you have the paperwork to prove it).
Nevada Classics must be doing something else exactly (that is, importing some Cobra parts and arranging for completion in Canada). I have posted extensively on this before. Suggest you search through my old posts for more details. |

I imported mine it less than a year ago... I actually had to wait 4 months until it had its 15th birthday to bring it across. Then it was easy. And mine was actually built licensed and driven in Canada then exported to the US; no difference, once into the US it cant come back for 1 years.

Just curious--does 15 yrs become 16yrs in 2012, or is it a moving up date.
To what does the 15 yrs apply? |

Please understand, this does not refer to the date the kit was manufactured, but to when it was finished. How do you prove when a kit car was finished? You probably can't. But you may be able to prove when it was first registered/titled for the road. If you have a state government-issued title that clearly shows the car's true age, then you should be fine. |
The choices in Canada are getting better. Of course there is the Riverside product built by Hi Tech (the Superformance supplier) available in the 289 models (riversideracers.com). Riverside is working on the GT40 as well as other choices, all done proper and legal with Transport Canada (if the dealer you are talking to tells you the trick is to ship the non chassis/body "starter kit" parts FIRST so customs is not watching for them) run, don't walk as the law may be gaining on you!
There is hope that Transport Canada may be enlightened to allow rollers with some help from legislation, but that is a ways off. Roy at Classic Car Connection (classiccarconnection@hotmail.com) has a 15 year old Superformance MK III with a nice 427 that he brought in recently that is available..... |

Riverside Motorsports has a deal with Hi Tech Automotive South Africa whereby they produce and supply Canadian starter kits exclusively to Riverside Motorsports .These kits were developed to comply with transport Canada regulations . The Canadian starter kits leave the hi tech factory as kits and are not turn key minus vehicles that are disassembled, shipped into Canada in 2 separate shipments and then reassembled, as this is a criminal offense in Canada. .
