LotusLeftLotusRight Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Strong money being asked for #19 then. That CHF 148985 price equates to GBP 98368 or EUR 137284. Maybe they have higher tax than us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adfer Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think the Swiss vat rate is lower than ours, and I think you would have to pay UK vat if you wanted to import that car from Switzerland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingoking Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Swiss TVA (VAT) is 8%. Alan is correct, you would have to pay 20% VAT if you import the car to UK and I believe import duty but not sure what the import duty is.

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 12, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just found these pictures and have fallen in Love with the car. Is this GTE owned by anyone on here? The colour is apparently Chrome Red and it is just OMG gorgeous to my eyes.... Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0.

Ishy Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yes it looks great in the photo's though didn't look quite so great last time I saw it....... It was still a similar colour at the bottom but going through various shades through orange as you looked higher to almost chrome at the top of the rear quarters. Somewhat faded I'm afraid, it wasn't one of the 20 to be re-built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 12, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ah, OK, thanks Chaps. It's shame. She looked wonderful, though I guess like all film stars with age the colour, looks and glamour all fade. Still, the archive pictures paint a real purddy picture. An Evora 400 with black pack in that colour would look yummy too. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!

Was that photo taken relatively recently (ie when you bought the carbon car)? I remember the red car @ Motorports but I don't think that it was the chrome red car.

adfer Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yes, the photo was taken in June I think. I was told that the red car was the Beatz car and was going to be scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo73 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ah, fair enough. In which case, it definitely wasn't 'chrome' anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKevlarKid Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) The red one in Alan's pic isn't the swizz beatz car, that is the red Beirut car which was in the airport raffle draw. As ishy say's it hadn't weathered well at all, it had really bad sun bleaching. Last time I saw it it looked like someone had got the cheapest shiny Christmas paper and wrapped it in it. It looked terrible and I can t imagine it looked that good to start with tbh, even when it was all one uniform shade. Not sure where the swizz car is now, it hadnt been scrapped off along with the others and may have been sold as track use only. The red Beirut car is still in existence also, again track use only.

TheKevlarKid Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 That must be an old pic though bibs, it didn't look anywhere near as good as it does in that picture when I saw it a couple of months ago... Can't believe anyone would repaint it that colour, cost in excess of 10k the first time round??? I thought it had gone somewhere a little more local than that.

TheKevlarKid Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Ah okay, I knew that a couple of them had not been reworked by the factory and were sold off 'as is' rather than being scrapped off with the rest of them, the Swiss beatz being one of them.

Bibs Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I did enjoy ripping the piss out of Swizzy at the time for his revolutionary Lotus which he, err, had painted red. We ran a campaign for people to vote on how much of a monumentally bad idea it was to have him involved with the company and he engaged his 650k+ followers to vote him up! Was quite funny but ultimately, another very sad Bahar idea. 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Snoopy1969 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 the car on instagram is a "normal" Evora with boards, no mansory parts, all these parts put off before selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKevlarKid Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah, you are right, it's a normal evora. Didnt notice as too busy looking at the colour... The swizz car is definitely still in existence although I doubt it will be in that colour again when it resurfaces.

Bibs Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 You think this car is Thailand is another Chrome Red Evora and not the Swizzy one? I find it incredible anyone would choose to paint their car that colour. It was hugely expensive and hugely troublesome paint.

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 13, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Forget for a minute the expense and the troublesome paint and look at the pictures I posted - I find it incredible how any one would not want that paint. Now, take off the rose tinted specs and do the research and find out it is a troublesome paint and it will cost 10k - OK, I find it incredible anyone would do it! Doesn't mean when done it ain't drop dead gorgeous though... Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!
