Hey everyone,
As I'm sure many of you have experienced, our cousins in the UK have a far easier time than we do when it comes to sourcing quality shells/project cars for their Mini builds.
My question is - how easy (or even possible) is it to purchase from overseas and import a Mini shell (specifically a pre-80s panel van) for the purposes of restoration? This is assuming that it comes with minimal running gear (just subframes/wheels to roll). Would this be considered as a "vehicle" or "vehicle parts"? Has anyone done this themselves or heard of others doing this? If so, what sort of hurdles were jumped when you went to register the build?
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Cheers, Hugh
