You could be right then, that'll teach me not to read it properly........................ In fact you could pay duty on the purchase price, then VAT on the price AND the duty. Although aren't the Channel Islands in the EU? If so you shouldn't pay duty, and cars aren't subject to VAT.kiltyarse said:Why`s that? Is it not correct in that the vehicle is in Guernsey, if I bought it and brought it to the UK, I would be liable to pay VAT? ???
I thought that too.pilkie 0 said:Its only worth £2-£3K tops I reckon! ???
Hi FolksDaveHerns said:Think this is one for Nick Dunning to answer .I believe Mark Gray had the last V8 made and it's avocado ?
Chrischrisyork said:A very concise summary of the situation in that Wikipedia article by Mark Gray.
Nick Dunning will be able to be definitive here, but my understanding was that at the end of production chassis numbers were not necessarily in build order - hence the importance of consulting actual build dates. At this stage SD1 production was well underway in the new facility and the P6 building and line was effectively abandoned; to subsequently be converted for Land Rover use? When the factory had spare labour a gang would go over to the P6 line and use old stock to build up a few cars - so production was very hit and miss. Didn't the production of VVC coincide with a strike? So those at work not on strike were given a little fill in job?
Note the last V8 was not the end of P6 production. 4 Cyl cars continued to be made for a short period. Weren't these export 2000's (not 2200's!!!) for Italy where the tax regime heavily penalised over 2000cc cars? The SD1 at that time would have been V8 only? Or at best 2300/2600, the SD1 2000 not yet having been launched.
