How might I import a Nano vehicle from India?

This website has info on the automobile, $2,500 and 50 miles per gallon: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story…

In Canada you can import, insure, and drive any vehicle from any country (regardless of it passing the Canadian stipulations for it's class and year) that’s I believe ten or fifteen years old.

However that varies with each Country.

I would contact your car insurance office, your local government transport office, and your local customs office (to see the costs involved).

As this car does not appear to be available in the country in which you live I would imagine you would have a great deal of difficulty importing and insuring it for use on your public streets.

If you are able to import it, you might be restricted to private property use. However, as it's less costly then many golf carts it might still be worth it.

Just for fun, visit the Tata Nano mini site, you can virtually customize a Nano. This will allow you to see all of the interior and exterior colors and options to see what’s available and what you would like the ideal on your possible new vehicle.

Ideal of luck, I love seeing imported vehicles in countries where they were never available.

P.S. Talk to a lawyer as a last case scenario, there's always the “Grey market” option that might be available. Your lawyer should know what I'm speaking about.

Wait 25 years and you'll be able to, though. But it isn't likely to meet US standards no matter what you do. So even if you wanted to spend years of effort and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars getting it approved, (in addition to the probably 2 grand it would cost to get one here from india) you probably couldn't do it now.

Forget it, find yourself an old Tercel and call it a day.
