USA_916

Welcome! My '96 TB came from Japan, via Canada too. I just had it imported into US, couple month ago.

Yes, but i have little time, so it sits for 6 month now.

aitäh

I also got this useless toy, just because I can never let go of cute things.

MK2 is in process of restoration, here is before and what I have now.

'62 Jaguar Mark2 '91 Toyota MR2 Turbo '01 996 TT

It is '82 XJS 5.3V12, 5 speed. My GTV was never on ebay, there was black one that sold in Ohio, which is one of about 5 total in US. I got mine directly from Canadian dealership and had delivered here.

this one gets me all kinds of attention and all kinds of stupid questions

In my case, local Italians and euro trash, going all excited about 916. No sexy ladies, besides my wife, have given me any winks

Very high class, like poor Euro boy, caught in American reality:) Thank you.

Speaking too soon, waiting for those pictures.

People do stare all the time and younger kids, in Subarus and Toyota's twist their neck like it's about to snap, staring. No drag racing offers so far, but yesterday some fellow kept going side by side with me and taking phone pictures.

To answer importation question, it is not easy to bring car like 916 into US, but there are some cracks from state to state, that allow to do that. For example, Skylines are strictly forbidden for importation, but some cars are OK to bring it, as long as you know how to do the paperwork efficiently. About the parts, there are none locally, except for whatever crosses to 164 and Milano, which is very little. eBay and Google are my best friends, so I pay a lot more for shipping from Europe on every little thing. Insurance is dirt cheap though, since I own 7 cars, 5 of which are collector cars that are used rarely, my overall annual mileage minimal is split among those 5, making full insurance for 916 about $236/year.

Hi there! Pictures of your GTV please.

Shalom!
