Re: IML: Finnish Imps Svalba?

[Markku Jaakkola <impcyclope2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

 

Most of those Imperials that are in Finland have been imported here in eighties and early nineties. In the beginning of 1980s finnish tax-system changed for over 25 years old cars and made it possible to buy and ship them here. There were some companies that shipped old american cars here..I don't know have many times more american made cars we have now than we had before 80s,but the amount grew "little" :)

Here's the one that came here in september 2004 from California and is now for sale.

Was the large number of Scandanavian Imperials the result of some kind of
dealer network? I'm wondering if that many people would want to go through
the whole shipping hassle.
