I have just imported a 1990 Esprit Turbo from the UK to Ireland, I have to pay import tax based on CO2 output from the car. Does anyone know the CO2 output for the 2.2 Turbo

Moved to the Stevens section as a 1990 is not a Giugiaro car.

Thought I moved it into the Stevens area? No? Oops.
All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

Co2 figures weren't required for cars back in the day therefore Lotus never kept any records. The only 4 cylinder Esprit they do have a record for is the 2.0 GT3 - 294 g/km.

Taking the LEW average mpg of 19.6 for the 1990 turbo this gives 334 g/km of CO2 using the unitjuggler website conversion.

Hi Declan,
VRT will be calculated on the highest rate - 36% of the open market selling price (OMSP) unless you can provide them with documentation that indicates otherwise.
The OMSP will be set by the revenue office in Rosslare, I would guess an average OMSP of €8-10k, which would leave you with a VRT bill of €2,880 - €3,600. I would not be surprised if its more.
There is a reason why I am looking for a 30 yr old Esprit, the VRT is reduced to €200 for a car 30 yrs old and road tax is €48 vs. €823 per annum for car under 30 yrs old.
