The car you'd take home is a 68/69/70 Buick Riviera. nice "personal luxury" cars. most likely has a 455 cubic inch motor. SAVAGE!!!!

Actually it was the red Mustang GT with the polished engine bay that was my favourite but the Buick (as you say:)) was lovely. There was a genuine GT350 Hertz/Shelby that the owner let me sit in that was lovely too. Sadly the GF messed up he pics of that one.

Great pics, Ferris.
Shame you don't have some "audio" of the event!

Saw this one back in August, but only got the phone connected to the PC now. Often saw this car in the mornings (7:40'ish am) on the way to work, at Syndey Parade dart station:


Sorry about the quality: was from a camera phone.

P.C.

Saw this the other day.
Unfortunately, it is LHD.

Saw a couple of everyday classics today in the city centre, no pictures unfortunately.

First was a blue Toyota Liteace van ('YZS' reg. I think). It was in fairly battered condition. It was followed immediately by a red VW Jetta Mk1 ('CI' reg.). It too was in fairly rough condition. Then about 5 mins. later, I saw a '90 Peugeot 505 estate. Hadn't seen one of those in ages.

Just one of those days I guess!

The MK1 jetta is a very rare sight these days!!

I just saw a lovely blue 88 KY fiesta van in mint shape,apparently it was in for a service,looked good enough for another 20 years:)

Is the vat paid on whatever you paid for the car(produce the receipt) or is it on the omsp?

if it's anything like my import from the states the VAT and duty should have been paid on it before it was allowed to leave the port.

my guess is it would be on what the Customs think its worth....

i think the vat is to be paid on what was paid for the car in SA + shipping charge. It should have been paid in the docks when the car was imported however. Thats how it works with jap imports anyway.
