Every car imported into Austria has to pass
a very detailed technical inspection before
it can get an Austrian license plate. You
will also have to change the lighting
system to go with our law. T3 headlights
are not allowed and H4 lights are required,
and you need some amber turn signal lights
to pass the inspection. The rest of the car
has to be in perfect technical condition as
well.
I had to install 4 new shock absorbers, all
new brake hoses, 2 upper ball joints and 2
outer tie rod ends before it could pass the
inspection.
The car then passed the test without a
problem and I´m now having all the paper
work in hands to have the car registered
here in Austria.

Cadillac Eldorado
Just got the news from the restoration shop
that the 67 Eldorado passed the state
inspection and has now all the necessary
paperwork to be driven on Austrian roads!
YEEEHA!!!! It is now "typisiert". (thats
the german word for this inspection
procedure which privately imported cars
have to go through to get a license for
Austrian roads)
The completely rebuilt AC will get a
recharge next week and I can then pick up
the car and put it into winter storage
together with the other Cadillacs. Can´t
wait for the next cruising season.
these are the documents which now allow me
to register the car in Austria.
