I’m pretty sure that you can import it whereever you want, but you will probably not be able to get licence plates for it to use it on the road?
In austria there is a process of getting a car “typisiert” (“categorized by type”?), where a car is checked for any violation of road regulations – normally this process is used when you build a car from scratch, or modify it so heavily that it has to be rechecked. No “Typisierung”, no licence plates, which means the vehicle can only be used on private roads.
Here in Finland you can import and get plates for pretty much anything imported, as long as it complies with the regulations in place in the country where it’s imported from, the year it was made. That’s why you can have a car with red turn signals, even though you can’t sell a new one.
Frankly, that’s kind of insane. It would make sense to grandfather in existing cars or have an exception for old-timers, but “someone stamped it, whatever” is just begging for abuse.
