Importing to Germany

[Simon.MATTHEWS@st.com]

     Does anyone know the process and requirements to import a car that was 
     first registered in the USA into Germany? The car was manufactured in 
     1974. 
     
     What checks, inspections and documents are required?
     
     If the car has already been imported into and registered in the UK, 
     does this alter the requirements when importing into Germany?
     
     Regards,
             Simon
