Importing Classics & Asbestos

[LoBelly]

Mostly in the nature of FYI...

I guess a number of us are fortunate/insane enough to have a stablemate (or two) for the Cobra

I read a concerning tale on another forum about a recent import of a Shelby Mustang.

Imported Cars and Asbestos - FerrariChat.com

Matters tend to be cleared up as the thread progresses, however given the premium 'originality' can bring some of the reports are a little 'grating' to read

A mate just purchased a very rare engine (Corona GT) in Japan.
He has been asked to either supply proof of no asbestos in head gasket, or remove the gasket.

Hopefully he wont get asked for any destructive test samples as per Lobelly's link. Beggars belief!
