So how does registration work on this "new car" in California I'd never get a Reg for it!!

Minimans, It's easy.

You just get some unscrupulous person over here to screw an old set of number plates to it & import it as a historic.

Isn't that how most Minis have made it into the States over the last 20 or 30 years

In all fairness, that is a great prize for someone to win!

Well done Minispares & IMM!
