Original owner, bought it in Germany, I want to bring it to the US when we retire in 2 years. Need info on MB experts to recondition it. Central FL area.

You probably aren't going to able to import it legally until it's 25 years old. The import laws are very weird and restrictive on anything newer than 25 years. With vehicles over 25, they are much less restrictive.
