The lights will need to be modified to meet European standards on
arrival
and you may need the car testing,

I don't think that's necessary for a temporary import is it?


At the very least you need to ensure the headlights dip to the
correct side of the road.

The worse thing about US cars IME is that stupid flashing "stop" light
pretending to be an indicator light. Whether this needs to be changed, I
have no idea.

Having said that I think the whole idea is completely impractical. Whilst
you can ship your car you can't just pick it up on the day of arrival. It
will sit there for days whilst someone does some paperwork. And the cost
will be more than a hire car, even for 8-10 weeks (though it's not clear if
this is two way trip or not)
