Shame about all the import duties and vat involved would be a nice car for someone in the UK to own at £82k
I heard somewhere that there are ways around all the import duties, one of which is to completely dismantle a car and bring it over as spare parts and then reassemble it:?: no idea if thats true or not

I have been bidding on this car. Dont mind paying but there needs to be value. If a well running low mileage EVO sold for $159k then how much is a standard car that while low mileage has been parked for years.

What does it take and cost to recomission one of these, and what is the percentage price difference between an evo and a standard car assuming both cars equal.

[Justin Smith]

UK based low mileage NON evo cars have been around the £120,000 mark recently as seen a couple of times in sales during 2011.

Not sure to be honest the EVO cars that have sold this year have got their proper money as they have been a similar price but then again they have been US based cars so the market is different there as are the rights to use on the road.

In years before you could expect a 35% increase in price to get a 2.1 over a 1.8 - more for works cars or cars with some unusual history.

Anyone wanting to move it has to consider shipping and tax implications.

As always with 200's, with so few built and not that many moving per year over the world - the price can often be altered by who else was in the race and how much they wanted to win !

I would expect to spend maybe £2000 on new fluids, belts, labour, unblocking fuel pumps, re-flowing injectors etc to get it ready for the road assuming nothing is found to be faulty.

Is it worth all the hassle, assuming someone pays the 82k you're not going to get much change out of 115k to get it it back to UK and on the road.

Was the car registered at any time in the UK, because the duty i beleive would be reduced if it were a returning car that was manufactured and registered in the UK and then exported

Good luck with it
