Shipping US Spec Mini to Europe

Hi everyone!

I am planning a move to the Netherlands, and I have a US Spec 2015 Mini Cooper S that I want to bring along. I am trying to figure out what (if anything) would need to be changed on the car to make it conform to European regulations. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

I was looking into www.shipoverseas.com to ship a classic mini from Italy to USA, cost was around 4K. I think it's challenging to ship as US spec car there. There are a lot of Mini's there in great shape with low miles (lots of scams too- especially in the south) as they don't have to drive as much as we do.
Good luck, let's us know what you find out.

Check out some Eye-talian used car sites:

Make sure to reach out to local authorities in the Netherlands too. They'll have the most up-to-date info on the requirements for importing and driving a US Spec car there. Plus, you might meet some friendly folks who can share their own experiences with bringing cars into Europe.
