Marius, In this country every state has its own laws concerning auto registration. Some are fussy, but many others aren't. Often, if the motor used in a replica was built in 1968, for example, then the car could be registered and titled as if the whole car was built in 1968. When you see ads for Cobras that say they are registered as a 1964, that is probably what is on the title papers. As far as any government authority (at least in the U. S.) is concerned, that car is a 1964 vehicle and is able to be licensed as a vintage automobile. I would think that your country would accept a valid title for a vintage car issued by one of our states, but you would have to verify that. In any event, the vintage registration has many benefits including less restrictive emission standards, lower taxes and cheaper insurance. there may also be some restrictions as to how many miles such a car can be driven annually, but most people don't use these things as daily drivers anyway. Good luck with your quest. I think you will find it a worthwhile effort. -- Allen
