Picked up the car on Wednesday last and she is sitting in my garage. On the road and fully legal.
Total cost was about $3k - $2300 for RoRo shipping from the UK to Galveston TX including having the car picked up about 150miles from the UK port of Southampton. Broker and customs fees $677. No federalization, no restrictions, no nothing. Car passed its local safety inspection and will have TX tags later this week.

Seems like it was hassle free!

Happy to share and recommend the shipper and broker I used - send me an email - roger@928srus.com.
I was skeptical as anyone and kept waiting for the "Gotcha" but never happened.
As long as the car is for your personal use and you do not buy too many I think it works every time.
Now on to my next purchase - 86 Euro AUTOMATIC.
