Can I export an European 1959 German manufactured car from Cuba into Canada?
Thanks, Murray

Lots of these vintage cars in Cuba are considered as National Patrimony and can no be sold and exported without a Governmental license. Cubans too need a permit to buy or own a car. It's the same with the export of natural resources, tropical fish, paintings and art pieces, etc.
Don't underestimate the Cubans they know the value of these cars as collectors items outside Cuba. I guess that it will be a very difficult project and that they will not easily give an authorisation for a sale.
Good Luck!
