I found a high end car dealer in BC who is selling brand new Speedsters from California to Canadians. When I asked how they could do this , the reply was that the cars are built to Canadian spec. What???
Sounds like BS to me.
Anyone have a better answer ?

Canadian BS
He is not being straight forward with you as he is stick handling around the system in some way.
You cannot import a kit car or replica as a fully built car Period according to Border Rules !
Having said that getting around the system can be done, just not without stick handling as I quote our national sport. Come to think about it basketball was invented here too 
You can easily bring over bodies and parts and John if I was you, I would get a used IM just for the frame and the roll up windows and top plus IM is here.
I agree on the stick handling.
Thanks for your help.
We (Beck) ship to Canada regularly, BUT we have a Canadian specific package, you can only get about 80% of the parts from us and have to source the rest on your own, and virtually all of the parts have to be uninstalled. And I'l say we pushed the limits to include as much as possible, so anyone claiming to import completed cars is either lying or doing it via some backdoor.
Thanks for your info.
Roll up windows in your new Super Super coupe are nice

Is there still a huge wait time for a speedster ?
As of last week we have almost 150 cars that we have not yet started, so we are quoting 3 years.
Wow ! Its amazing how the popularity of the little car from Germany still grows.
It's such a undieing style over the decades.
How many get done at any one time ?
we ship roughly 1 car per week average
and we have 20-30 in various stages of completion at all times.

Well, if the need were to arise, I know where I can probably get a job :~)
More like 3 with that much demand.
Carey's been busy all year expanding their facilities with another building. Once that facility is on line, they should be able to increase their rate of production.
Good problem to have, especially nowadays.

Have you guys ever worked night shift? Almost nobody gets 3x the productivity with 3 shifts, especially with a craft.
