This is the reason why the prices of the already street legal cars went up and are still going up.
CSX8988 - built 21st century = you have to follow the regulations for cars built during the same time = no chance

Interesting, I believe I read that some earlier built replicas( 25 - 30years old) are being exported to Europe and are passing registration due to their build date.
Can you elaborate on this?

In Switzerland it is 30 years.
BUT it is 30 years from the first (street legal) registration of the car and not of the age of the engine or washer bottle.
e.g a title with 1965 is useless on a CSX 4000.

About the registration in France. This is nice, but as Switzerland is not France they challenge this registration on a first place.
And don't forget. The guys on the DMV have as well internet and google.
Therefore you need to have 120% evidence to put on their desk prior to get any OK
