Hal,

I've never imported a car but have heard plenty of stories.  I 
believe if the car is pre-1973 it can be imported.  That's the 
Federal rule.  As far as your state rules I don't know.  The thing to 
remember is that there are two sets of rules.  It is possible to 
import a car into the US and NOT be able to register it in your state.

There is also the "take the engine out, ship it as a kit" route of 
which I know nothing.  I talked to a person at XK'S Unlimited here in 
CA and he said he wanted to import a newer Mantula into the states as 
a kit.  Said it wasn't too hard.  I've heard different but he deals 
in Jags and UK stuff.  So who knows??

I guess the most important thing is to research all the laws before 
buying anything.
