Importing Mini Coopers Into America!?

Question

Hi, I'm emmigrating to the states with my wife, we have two 98 mini coopers and we'd love to take them with us. Now since they aren't defined as "Classic" cars (they are under 25 years old) how can we go about importing them? Does anyone know of any websites or does anyone have any personal experience with importing cars to the states? We want to be able to do a "Drive on/Drive Off" deal if possible. So if anyone could help, that would be great!

Believe it or not but:

They can give you a quote.

Answer 2

The one thing that you must get from the manufacturer is a letter stating that the cars will meet U.S. safety and emissions regulations and this has to be on the manufacturers letterhead.

Without this you can forget about bringing them into the U.S. plus if for some strange reason you do get them in, you will never be able to register them in any state....
