Default Re: Americans in Sweden

The freightliner was completely rebuilt/painted when I bought it 5 years ago. The problem is that we got a new legislation on brakes here in 1074, older than that is no problem. There´s no problem with brakes when testing (practical) as certification station, but lack of paperwork from manufactors makes it impossible to get a registration on newer truck.
Although we are a European union (about 20 countries) with the same legislation (should be) there´s a possibility to make registration i like Germany but that registration is not transferable to Sweden. So I have decided to sell this one.
All countries has their own special rules and this makes it hard. But when it comes to personal cars Sweden has a very generous legislation that alows us to build almost a vehicle by you self, people in other countries are very yellous on this rule, but on heavy trucks, no no.
