[Rovernet] 1980 SD1 3500 for sales in MD - CoPart

[Tom Rymes]

Robert,

Thanks for the info. FWIW, Hagerty didn't even blink when I asked them 
to register an Isuzu Gemini I imported from Japan this summer. If you 
haven't already, give them a try. They are all stated value policies, 
too, so you don't end up in a hole if the book value of the car is lower 
than it's actually worth.
