Greetings from Ontario, Canada
Hello All, I'm sort of new here, was registered many years ago but not very active.
I'm looking for any direction regards to a Dino 246 - completed car, project or body kit for sale. Let me know if you have something or know of where one may be available? Preferably from North America but open to all options.
I am also interested in a 250 GTO, same as above, complete, project or body kit.
Appreciate any and all help, thanks look forward to hearing back.

There are cars over here in the UK that might be of interest. They include 250 SWB's, a couple of GTO's etc. Shipping costs are not as high as you might think.

Thanks Lucky, yes the container cost for shipping isn't of concern, I do, however, prefer a LHD.
I did communicate with a fellow who had a 250 GTO advertised on ebay, but his car is a RHD.
Thanks for your input.

The kit suppliers over here will be able to help you out with left hand drive options as will the build agents for most of these cars. You could commission a new build in left hand drive to your own specifications. The exchange rate is in your favour at the moment.

Thanks again Lucky, ideally a body kit will be much easier for me to import. As you may be aware Transport Canada has closed the door on importation of kit cars.
Regarding the exchange rate, actually the converse is true for me, the buying power of the Canadian dollar compared to the Euro or British Pound is approximately worth half.
A purchase costing 1000 BP would cost me in excess of $1700 Canadian dollars, so a car costing 20,000 BP would equate to approximately $34,000 CDN, not so favorable.
Thanks again for your input.

I didn't know about your import regs, I don't think it will be common knowledge over here.
What do the regs say ? What is a kit car ? Can you still import Morgan's or Lotus cars for example. Just asking as many hand built cars, if built at a factory, whilst assembled from a kit of parts are not considered "kit cars", even though they are !
Build agent or "factory" built commissioned cars might be ok with Canada regs, perhaps ?
The value of the £ might turn to s***e in March next year !
