 Shannon, 
(and fellow Canadian's on the list)

You're very close on it ... when I was hunting for my 'D' I assumed I
would have to bring it in from the US and checked on it, Canada Customs
and Revenue Agency has this to say on the issue:

"Usually, you cannot import used and second-hand motor vehicles that are
less than 15 years old from a country other than the United States."

As even the '83's are over 15 years ... there's no problem bringing
them in; Fortunately I was able to find one of the few Canadian spec.
DeLoreans (the 17xxx series) and didn't have to go this route.


I'm not a lawyer of course, so see:

I'd sure like to hear that, since you can't bring a used car into Canada
unless it's over 20 years old. The only assumption I can make is that he
somehow scammed a Canadian registration?
