I have a colleaque here in Norway who wants to import two 7esque cars, but to get round Norway's strict importation laws they should ideally be 30 years old or more.

Does anyone have any advise on what they should be looking for ?

Were Westfields manufactured pre 74, is there anything other than Caterhams.

There is more to it than just virtually no import tax on 'classic' cars, there is the Norwegian equivalent of SVA, which aparently is all but impossible to pass, but would not apply if more than 30yo.

No. Mid 1980's onwards.
Lotus or very very early Caterham Seven is all I can think of.
Good luck!

Not a CaterField but my Marlin Roadster is registered as a 1974 Marlin (it was based on a '74 Morris Marina). Might be worth looking into a kit-car that used a donor...
