Hi, look for buying a US V8 Miata in view of export to and use in Europe. Ideally : show-car good looking, safe, body and mechanical parts in very good conditions, budget 10 to 23k

Welcome to the forum. Do you have a Ford or GM preference?

Shizu44

In theory no preference.

Practically it looks like my today's budget is more likely targeting Ford's.

And Ford is very well represented in Europe, with a Ford dealer at nearly every road crossing, there are many Mustansg around, now even distributed as a European car in the V8 5.0 L GT version.

May be if I can do it repeatedly there would be a possibility to put a higher budget at a later stage and also address GM's and high performance cars.

After some search : car would be shipped to UK (Southamprton) and would be parked there. With a 10 years old (or more) car, engine swap is authorized in England, and V8 could enter Europe this way, this resolve the issue of the car engine swap that is not an easy subject on continental Europe.

I am looking for Monster Miata(s), if possible with a 1989/1991 Title (the older the better), a "show car", if sold for 12 KUSD, it would be the ideal.

If you know of such opportunity thanks for the input

$12,000 US Dollars for a show car?


Maybe closer to $18,500-$24,000 US for a true small block ford powered show car.

Thanks for the information : 18,5/24 K USD for a show car, and if purchased at a lower price, ti be ready to spend the difference after the arrival in Europe to make it better and closer to a show car ...
