@hobbsm3 Thanks for the comment. It is a head turner one and it is in amazing condition
I’ve imported a few cars from Europe. Costs vary depending if you do Roll on/Roll off vs container. There’s customs/import fees, insurance, getting the car to the port, fees associated with unloading etc. Factor in atleast $5k for everything. Maybe more, maybe less. This car is cool and will definitely be worth the effort.

@Belushawn will do. To be honest, I usually skip videos. Thanks!
@Rvino5 I’m sure you can but don’t know the cost. It should ve around $1.500-2.000.
@GoBoGo Thank you for the comment. There’s a very good quality walk around video posted where you can see the car in sunlight/outdoor.
Another article... https://www.capitalone.com/cars/learn/finding-the-right-car/how-to-import-a-car-to-the-united-states/2449
I haven't read any of this but this site seems to be the place to start... https://www.epa.gov/importing-vehicles-and-engines I love this! I wish I could have come to the F1 race last weekend and driven this to a Port to bring home! I do agree that an outdoor/sunlight photo would be a great addition?
Can you ship this to the states? If so how much?

@ariotofmyown - thank you! I missed that photo in the gallery. *doh*
@gsxr There's a date-stamped (7/1990) "Certificate of Installation" from MB in the gallery (photo 124) listing the original AMG body kit items that were installed at that time. That, along with the other AMG paperwork leads me to believe it was installed by AMG Germany prior to being shipped to Jordan for the original owner.
Just to clarify... this car has AMG accessories installed, but they were not installed by AMG, with no AMG documentation - correct? [EDIT - see reply above, I missed the photo.] Would help to have some photos in sunlight to show off the Midnight Blue hue. The indoor photos make it look like Black paint. This is a great color but it's hard to tell in the pictures!
