Sweet! In only 16 years, we here in the USA will be able to import this truck On the bright side, the seller will probably have lowered the price by then!

...and maybe the exchange rate will improve! 15k pounds = about $25k based on Fridays exchange of 1.66

Hmm. I wonder if this is registered as a truck or RV. I think the importation rules are slightly different for RV's. Don't quote me on that though.

If the vehicle is registered as a Motorhome... it is not subject to Airbag requirements... I believe the deal is that it had to be registered that way from the factory. This might be a way to legally get a newer 130 into the US.

I like the "Left Hand Drive Sticker."

Off to read DOT regs.

I'm guessing that won't matter for our side, it's just what US Customs thinks it is.
