Ummmm, you are being a bit optimistic and ambitious I feel.

The shipping cost from the US is likely to be the cheapest part of the whole project, about $3,000 via agents that advertise in Unique Cars.

RHD conversion, my guess is that could run towards $20,000, but may be cheaper if you can pick up secondhand parts from a wrecked local car.

Meeting ADRs is an unknown quantity to me but you could PM me and I will provide you with a a couple of Engineers who have done European import compliancies.

It is likely MB will not want to know you with a car that does not have a VIN which they imported so support and parts could be an on-going issue.

I do not know what the current import duties are but they are likely to be a healthy injection of funds to the government.

One route which may be a better option is a car from Japan or Hong Kong. These are RHD but all the other issues will need to be dealt with and you are likely to get a car which smells like an ashtray.
