hexbit Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi folks, Just agreed to buy a very special Evora from a fellow forum member last week, and now I get to figure out the fun logistics of shipping it out of the UK. 😃 It'll probably be a several month process before I actually get a license plate on it, but you can bet I'll proudly share the photos once that day arrives! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexbit Posted March 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Grand Cayman, so it’s still staying in the British family! We drive on the left too, so works out well. Funny enough trucking it from the seller’s garage to the Port of Felixstowe seems to be the hardest logistical hurdle. I live and work within eyesight of the Port of George Town, so that’s going to be easy to pick up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
