Got this today and I assume it's real. Too bad if you have a car on the water but don't have your permit yet. Not surprising really when you see how many late model ex USA cars are here now.

i thought there was 500 permits for the later model ones and the 200 was based more on the older non compliant emmsiions models.

Special Interest is exhaust emissions non compliant (200)

Left hand drive permits are for cars with steering wheel on wrong side (500)
