I remember in the early to mid-1980's,imported,"Grey Market" cars being the "thing".Most of them were BMW,Porsche,Mercedes cars that were either "higher performing",or simply performed better due to less smog restrictions,or sometimes just cooler due to different sheet metal,maybe Euro spec lighting,or something else that set them apart.(Yeah,I know most of them needed the lighting changed to conform to US spec's).
Having worked on Volvo's since January 1989 I've only ever seen ONE of these cars. Does anybody have a "euro" 240? Not just a US spec car with "Euro" stuff adorning it,but a real one?
I'd love to see some pix.Hear about what differences people have found compared to US spec cars etc.
