Looking to import my UK RCF to California when we move there in January Does anyone know if there are any differences other than mine being right hand drive, head lights needing to be realigned, BHP slightly different purhaps a remap to pass emission test. Any advice greatfully recieved.

also is there another section of the forum that I might get a better response as not many people have RCF's but there are plenty of Lexus's and although I was hoping for specific details on the differences between a UK and USA car. I would also appreciate general advice on importing a car and meeting the DMV's requirements for registration.

hope you can help

It would be a rare thing to have an RCF with Right Hand Drive here in US. Some of the questions for you are:

• Do you really love Right Hand Drive? - You might forget you're in US since you're used to Right Hand Driving and drive on the opposite road
• Can you part ways with your current RCF and go for an RCF US Version? -There are a lot of good deals on Used and New RCFs here
• Are you willing to spend more $$$$ on tax/shipping/etc?
• You don't have any Aftermarket Performance parts on your car?

 

Have no issues driving right hand drive have driven thousands of miles in Europe in right hand drive cars from UK on the wrong side of the road in Europe, have driven in America on your huge roads. My car isn't modified but has every option possible Mark levinsoon, moon roof, TVD, and all UK cars come with leather, led main headlights automatic retracting seats stealing wheel, heated cooled seats etc everything and I like the colour only 12000miles.

 

Just import it to Australia I will look after it until you change your mined

 

Thanks for all the replies, even if the general consensus is not what I wanted to hear.

regards,

Andy

 

If moving permanently, you are better off selling the car.
