Sign it? Transport Canada: Remove ban on imports, let Canadians buy vintage kit cars

[rdymond]

Hi everyone,

 

I started a petition on change.org to hopefully get the Canadian laws on kit

cars changed.

 

Please sign it if you agree. Please pass it on to others too! The more

signatures the better. It does not matter if you are Canadian or not.

Robin,

 

Canadians can buy "vintage" kit cars, they must be 25 years old (documented and not just the year on the title) or older and can be imported quite easily.

The issue isn't importing old cars. It is importing modern high quality kits that are much higher quality and much more sophisticated. Old kits have many problems, and newly manufactured kits are stronger, lighter, have better designs, better electronics, and easier to build.

I had understood you could bring in a new kit car no problem, as long as you did it in bits, not as a complete package. Here in Ontario, you can simply show the MTO your parts list, which comprise a "kit" (can be practically anything you say it is) and they give you your VIN, and Bob's your uncle.

I think it is 15 years to be RIV exempt not 25. Good luck trying to get it removed, they are thinking of raising it to 25 to match the States.

We have got 40 signatures so far. We could use many more. Please spread the word.

 

We want a more open market that will allow replica cars to be enjoyed by Canadians like they are in the US and UK.
