That used to be the rule, but now it is 20 years old at the time of compliance. People were literally missing out by a few months and technically could never be registered. Many years ago, I bought a 1971 mustang in feb 91 and since it was first reg in aug 71, it was not under 20 years old 'at the time of importation'. I and many others thought that was unfair. All changed now.

Remember, they don't have to meet the collector criteria if the other 3 are met. Submodels are taken into account also, so Camaro Z28 for eg would be treated differently. Not a collector car but under 20,000 made most years, so would be ok.

Unfortunately, no. Although it's over 20 years old by 2016, the fuel emissions law from jan 1990 applies to your particular vehicle. I recommend you google LHD rules. Plenty of info online. With any LHD vehicle, you need to show an ownership trail. Even if you had a corvette ZR1 which clearly qualifies, it won't get complied unless full supporting paperwork is included in your application. An export certificate alone, is not enough.
