the little I know of import of cars to usa suggests it is whey easier if the car is over 25 years old,
else it has to have conformity documentation for the emissions and other safety regulations.

This is what Google ai said:

To export a vehicle from the UK to the USA, you'll need to:
Get the right documentation
You'll need a copy of the vehicle's V5 license document, a copy of your passport's photo page, and a copy of the vehicle's MOT certificate if you want it collected in the UK. You'll also need to complete EPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7 to declare the vehicle's emissions and safety provisions.
Prepare the vehicle
The undercarriage of the vehicle should be free of foreign soil to prevent the importation of dangerous pests. You should also have the vehicle steam-sprayed or cleaned thoroughly before shipment.
Declare the vehicle
You'll need to declare the vehicle's contents to CBP on entry.
Notify the DVLA
You'll need to send a letter to the DVLA to tell them you've taken the vehicle out of the country. The letter should include your name and address, the vehicle's make, model, and identification number, and the date you took it out of the country.
Use a shipping company
You can use a shipping company to ship your vehicle to the USA. Some companies that offer this service include:
Auto Shippers UK: Offers weekly car shipping by container and RoRo, with customs clearance and delivery services in all US states
Ship Cars Ltd: Offers roll on/roll off and container shipping, with weekly sailings
ShipMyCar: Offers car shipping from the UK to the USA
Car Exporters UK: Offers car shipping to the USA, and can also make motor vehicle purchases on your behalf
