Sounds like Vermont and New Hampshire....if there is no OBD port, then
there can be no smog check. I've never had anyone look under the hood for
original equipment.

At this time the Smog check in NY is the inspection station plugging into
the OBD II port which goes by land line to DMV in Albany for approval.
Approval means no check engine light indicators; the State might be
checking
other things too. No tail pipe sniffing at this time.
All other vehicles are visually checked for smog equipment by year of the
vehicle; must comply with USA regulation. New York City area could be
different; I don't live there and as always the State requirements change
regularly.
What time frame is your move?

On the Range Rover....I believe that most states do not smog test vehicles
built before 1976. So, that might be worth checking on in NY and might
influence your decision on year to purchase.

hello all,
firstly, apologies for my limited participation as of late, my life has
been
rather busy over the last few months. secondly, apologies that this email
is not really tiger related.
at the end of the year i will be moving from england to new york and i'm
hoping to tap the knowledgeable tiger community to assist with a couple of
general questions.
i intend to bring two or three cars with me which poses two problems.
living in the city, I will not have space for a workshop so i'm hoping to
rent some space nearby to keep one or two cars and my tools and spares.
i
will need the space of a 2-4 car garage with power that is fairly
accessible
from manhatten. maybe in new jersey somewhere? any tips on how to find
this or if anyone on the list can help out directly i'd be most grateful.
secondly, while the tiger is left hand drive and historic, so should
present
no problems, one other car in particular might cause some difficulties
bringing it into the US. this is my right hand drive 2003 mini cooper s.
in the UK it is fully legal and passes emissions (just) but with 270hp it
might present a problem registering it in the US. does anyone know the
rules on importing modern cars and registering cars in new york state?
both
stock and modified? i have at least added the horrible 'side markers'
which
i know are a US requirement and the bodywork is completely stock.
i'm also looking for a mark 1 range rover (range rover classic) to bring
over but i'm unsure if there is any date cut-off that would make it easier
or harder to register. they made these between 1970 and 1994! any advice
would be most appreciated.
- owain.
