The latest candidate for bringing home

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4511155719
&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

It's a bit of a trek but I have someone doing the US equivalent of the
PDI. Are there likely to be any huge issues with LHD in the UK, other
than driveability?

Yeah. Type approval.
As it's a European car to start with, it shouldn't be much of a
problem, but check it out.
There are some new rules out, but I cant remember to what they apply.

Why? Is there a shortage of SOC in the UK or summat?

A shortage of corrosion-free SO SAABs at a reasonable price IME .
Although I'd be happy to hear different since I like SO SAABs a lot.

Apparently the hot climate of the southern US causes problems other
than corrosion.

You *did* twig on the fact that the car is in Georgia, right?

And you do know what the climate is like there? Like, hot and *humid*?

The rust-free cars full of chicken wire and filler are found in the
Southwest, *not* the Southeast. In the Southeast, they tend to be full
of chicken wire, filler and rust...

Ah, there's a catch in every good plan!

I'm still waiting for answers to my questions, so we'll see how the
response is. I was thinking more along the "no salt on the roads" lines
rather than hot and sticky climate.

There might be plenty, they might be shite, but, mostly, they're not
convertibles.

Hey, I just bought one of them. 110v mind, are there likely to be any
