Default Registering UK Cobra in FL

OK, so I FINALLY realized there is a Registration forum!

I will try to remove the posts I made in other forums so as not to clutter up the site.

To the issue...I brought my Gardner Douglas GD Euro in from Ireland last summer. I have spent a little time re-assembling it and am looking to get it titled/registered this coming week.

Has anyone attempted something similar?

I am being told that sales tax will be payable on the original purchase price. I bought the kit back in the UK in 2002, is there no allowance for depreciation?

I am also being asked for an MSO 'Manufacturer's Statement of Origin'which the manufacturer has never heard of. I don't know if this will cause a problem.

Anyone brought a GD or other Cobra in without an MSO. Bear in minf the body/chasiss came in and the engine was added here in FL. So, what came in was parts and not a car.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Paul
