So "67" purely out of interest very roughly how much would it cost, I assume a lot more via air cargo than in a container?

To answer Eddie's question, the other English drivers thus far are Nick Martin and Phill Wicks (both live in the US).

But here is an interesting UK car that is now in the US - a 1962 Morris, owned and raced by Tom Chisholm.
The car is an original rally car and belonged to (and made somewhat famous by) Jeremy Coulter and David West in theEuropean Road Rally Championships of the sixties.
794YTU still wears its original livery, pictured here at the famous Oak Tree Corner at VIR:

Jay, we raced with Dale Shore in 2005 at Mazda Raceway (Laguna Seca), and he takes car prep very seriously. He will be a fast, top class competitor!

Cheers,

Rachel
