Question Import from UK - or Not ?

Hi Guys (& Gals)
I'm moving to Houston in May from UK.
I currently have a Cobra Replica (by Fiero Factory) first registered in Jan 2000.
Current engine is a Ford 2 litre Twin-cam, with 5 speed box.
(Does have LSD though!!)
Top speed around 120 mph - averages about 30 mpg on long runs..

I was wondering which way to jump....
Do I bring it with me, and jump through the import hoops (under 25 years old)
and then eventually strip & rebuild with an engine more in keeping...
OR - do I sell (value in UK around $14,000/£7,000) - and then buy another once I've settled in???

any useful advice will be welcomed.
(especially some sort of list of manufacturers & costs...)

ps - no problem bringing my wife's MG's though - they're both over 25...!!

Graham H.
