    Exactly!

    I had to look it up, the MGB ended production in 1980, but there was a version available in the UK/Japan in 1993-1995.

    Just thinking out loud here, but is there any reason the car has to be available in the US in the final years of production? As an example what about the first gen Capri, it was produced until 1986 for the UK market, but imported into the US until 1977, when it was replace with a re-badged mustang. The wording seems less than clear that the model has to be available for sale USDM in 1985. Like it has to be USDM at some point and it has to be manufactured into 1985, but not necessarily has to be USDM in 1985.
    I'm sure there are other examples of manufacturers that exited the US market about 1980 but continued to make the chassis into 1985 or later as well.

    Familiarity, documentation, ability to scrutineer. If we did not have limits to things like that then someone could import some oddball from New Zealand and claim anything they want about how it was equipped.

    If someone wants to race some weird combo car, just make a request and we'd consider it.
