IMPORTING
THE UNIMPORTABLE
Autosport Designs, Inc. is the
importer for the Aston Martin V600 Le Mans and the DB7
Vantage Zagato Coupe.
As a Registered Importer of long standing with an excellent
reputation with the EPA & DOT, Autosport Designs, Inc.
petitioned the DOT to allow both the V600 LeMans and
DB7 Vantage Zagato Coupes to be imported to the USA
under "Show & Display" status. After much
consideration their importation was given the
go-ahead.
"Show & Display" designation means the
car is exempt from safety modifications normally
required by DOT for an imported vehicle. This
exemption allows the owner to keep the vehicle in the
United States with the requirement that the vehicle be
used less than 2,500 miles per year and is displayed
for show at least once per year.
Although DOT requirements are waived,
EPA requirements and emissions standards must still be
fulfilled for the manufactured model year of the
vehicle being imported. This means the vehicle must be
modified and tested to meet all standards as required
by EPA prior to being delivered to its new United
States owner.
This process although being involved
does allow the lucky few to own some of the rarest
automobiles in existence.
If you are interested in obtaining
either of these Astons or any other significant
sportscar that is not or has not been available in the
USA please contact us directly.
It is a very small automobile world,
we know where all the left hand drive V600 LeMans &
DB7 Vantage Zagato cars are, please contact us to
discuss any and all of your interests.
If you find an example on your own, we
will be delighted to import and perform the conversion
on your behalf.
