Importing Euro Enzo's to Canada or US

This will help C>US.

Not sure about US>C

If you're going to buy an Enzo make sure all recalls have been done. I'd also have a very through PPI. If these cars sit they need attention before setting off.

 

I believe Euro spec Enzo's, according to the same site different section, can legally be imported into the US BUT they must be modified and this is no small thing and I know of none that have been. The problem is that the euro has risen to the point where buying in Europe isn't what it was and IMHO it would be a lot faster and safer in that you'd have a no question US legal car to buy a US spec Enzo. The other issue is warranty. While Enzo's are out of warranty if you bought one from a US dealer you could get an extended warranty or at least a 30 day one that would make sure yours is OK. If somethings not it can get VERY expensive fast and parts are very expensive.

Another problem is getting the US spec parts you'd need to make the conversion. These are controlled by Ferrari and IMO they wouldn't necessarily make it easy.

 

Hey Jay. You might want to contact James Simpson from Autoforum, I think he imported one for a customer. Also, I think the guys from LoT brought one in as well. Best of luck!

 

Just ask Steffan Erickson!

 

Your best bet: call Ferrari NA. Ask them about the car in question and they will tell you the details.

As others have said, if it is not already US spec, expect a world of issues!

 

The one the pope signed was imported and converted to US spec

 

...and promptly crashed. That was the one, wasn't it?

That's got everything you need to know about importing from the US into Canada.

 

Nope. It was accepted for show and display, quite different. So far as I know it hasn't crashed that was a different car.

 

Clax, you should start by contacting the closest NHTSA REGISTERED IMPORTERS; http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/web_complete_RI_list010807.htm.

They would be able to give you more of any idea of whats involved and types of costs your looking at. Don't forget you not just dealing with DOT. EPA is also involved. Good luck.
