I have just looked a little more closely at this advert and car.

It is being offered for sale from Switzerland this means import tax!! This will increase the price a Brit would end up paying to bring it home; I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up costing one of us £60,000 by the time it was sat on the driveway. :shock: :shock:

It is a racer so a track day warrior or you can go racing; if you wanted it for the road it would mean even more expense to have it converted. :roll:

On the plus side the conversion from 400 Trophy to 500 LM looks to have been done with some sympathy as it has the correct 500 LM rear spoiler/bodywork and the engine seems to have some nice kit fitted. Just a last point the spoilers on 500 LM's started out as per this model but were regularly upgraded to the newest factory spoiler, so there are a few rear spoiler types out there! :wink: :wink:

What about this one then? It is being offered by an acknowledged Venturi specialist and former factory mechanic at 40,000 Euro and as it is being sold from France forget the taxes!!

Has it always been outside the EEC?
If it was originally sold within the EEC, I think they'll consider tax as already EEC paid.

nope.....
once exported out of EU.... tax is claimed back if was already paid when first purchased or registered or it was exported "tax free" and local tax is then paid in whichever country it's been imported to,

if it comes back to eu import duty and VAT will still have to be paid once it's officially landed in EU no matter what the age and mileage of the car.

the same conumdrum exists with a race spider in USA.... it's stuck there as no one wants to buy it in the US and no one can buy it cheap enought to bring it back to europe becaus of import duty and VAT plus the shipping.....
