Perhaps with all of the German presence in this area, someone found a way to import it. As I understand the vehicle import laws, if it does not have the required safety equipment (door beams etc), a US emissions sticker, a MPH/miles speedo/odometer, is to be used in a mfgr testing program. or as a racing vehicle, it could not be imported.
By the time we got out of that very long movie, it was gone so I could not ask how they got it here. I wonder if it sold in Mexico and maybe that's how it got here. Dunno /images/graemlins/confused.gif
