Great Pics Sean

However, I am looking for your email address, because I have some specific questions regarding the 'Customs' issues on how you got that car into the U.S.

Cheers

Shawn

Yes. It was so slow, I gave up. But I'm not a patient man (I waited about ten seconds). We have a pretty darn good connection where I work, so I'm not used to things taking long.

I managed to down load all the thumbs but opening the full size versions was extremely slow.

I think you will find the import was a limited time period thing, a sort of visitors visa, and was sorted out by the organisers - but I am only guessing, I just dont think you should be expecting to find a loop hole to getting lots of Tuscans in to the USA!!

Bug TVR and let them know you want a Tuscan!

The cost of taking the call willmotivate them to make their cars street legal abroad!

Hi,
E-mail address is sean_cullinan@hotmail.com, will gladly answer any question if I can, I check pistonheads once / twice a week.

The Yahoo site can be as really slow, especially when the eastern seaboard kicks in, it can be very fustrating, I am trying to sort out a site in the UK at the moment.

The import/export was done by the shipping Co., in this case Maersk Sealand, the rally organisers had nothing to do with the shipping as we found out. I could have kept the car in the US for a year.
I have kept a copy of all the documentation that I had to fill out (8/9) pages, I will dig them out and post them at some stage, will put an update back on here when I do.

Cheers,
Seán
