ES30/SZ's in the US

[Eric Storhok <alfa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Damian asks about the modern SZ/ES30 in the states.

While I don't know of any, it may not be that hard to import one.  I'll 
have to forward the links I have for the DOT and EPA concerning importing 
cars.  But I've thought about it a few times, thinking of which modern Alfa 
could possibly be brought into the US.

Of the non- imported Alfas from the 80's on, I think the ES30 would be 
among the easiest.  By reading the rules, I've concluded that if I make it 
essentially the same as a Milano Verde, you should be all set- so install 
the catalyst system from a Verde, and then mention that it is exactly the 
same platform for crash, and you might be all set.

I'll try to remember to send the links home, as I have them at work.  Lots 
of paperwork, and you might have to use a broker.  But since the cars are 
somewhat obscure and significantly similar to an already approved car, it 
might go smoothly.

Cool cars- I saw one at an AutoItalia event at Goodwood.  Oh, my gosh, what 
a musical engine!
