Default Can I move a US V70 to Europe?

My company is transfering me to Europe for 2 years. They will be providing me with a car but I would like to have something for my wife to drive occasionally. I have a 98 V-70 with a ton of miles that I am thinking about shipping over. What will I face in a technical inspection?

Depends where you're going I guess, but if it's the UK then this is the annual test that all cars have to pass

From what I hear the US spec cars have stricter laws on emmisions so that shouldn't be an issue.

Try the Hungarian Embassy? They should be able to point you in the right direction. Old Eastern Bloc authorities tend to speed things up if a small 'fee' is arranged. Well, it works in like that in Bulgaria
