i would be keeping it not selling!
i've heard about 4" ride height and no oil leaks, but not door bars. any info would be great.
Bring it in as a "private import" you need to prove ownership for min 12 months, - much easier to comply, many loopholes available for vehicles owned OS for more than 12 months and bought in by their owner.
Vehicles owned for less than that are bought in as "greater than 15 year old vehicle" and are much more difficult and costly to comply - different set of regs, as several people posting have found. It is also state dependant (interpretation, although it shouldn't be) PM if you need more detail.
