TEXT:

We are hoping to import into the United States British Army Ferret Armored Cars of which I enclose two photos. These vehicles were manufactured around 1970. They are in a driveable condition, but all armaments have been removed.

I would be selling these on the basis they would only be used for off road purposes.

If we did import these vehicles would they be exempt from Federal Motor Vehicle Standards?

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
