    We had more than 60 cars over the last weekend take part in the annual Ferrari Rally in Taiwan organised by Modena Motori the local importer. Its a regularity rally on public roads so no racing.........We did over 900 miles over the entire weekend including one day at the Penbay racetrack near Pingtung south Taiwan.

    All good and no serious damage as far as I know.

    Cheers

    Hey Alex!

    Everyone home safe I think.

    Hi TW - I live in Taipei and I own a '92 mondial but it's sadly back in the USA. I've not explored importing the car over yet, but would love to join one of your rallies if you have an extra seat! Who do I need to contact?

    PS _ Anyone imported any of their cars over themselves or mostly bought from local dealers?

    As far as I know other than standardised parts - Bosch etc etc - only OEM parts here would be via the main dealers - Modena Motori. I tend to order mine from overseas and either fit them myself or have them do it for me.

    There are a couple of Ferrari brand stores here but I don't think thats what you're looking for....

    Cheers

    Most Ferraris here before about 10 years ago, when the main dealers were established, were personal imports - mine included. Nowadays its hard to impossible to import personally, especially on any car more than 10 years old. The government offers no support whatsoever for "classics" even though there is a huge interest in older cars/bikes on the street.

    The rally is always in October/November every year and very well arranged by the main dealers - Modena Motori. They're in Neihu - stop by sometime they're all very helpful up there. (No affiliation etc etc)

    Cheers

    I lived in TW in 2009. Had to leave my 550 in hk when my company moved me there. Spent 3 months fighting the government to try and let me import the car. Also tried to bring my boat as well. Wasn't going to happen so I packed my bags and left.

    impossible to import a RHD whatever the year or condition or anything else for that matter. Has to be LHD and less than 10 years old.

    I tried to import my RHD manual 550. Beautiful car. Was prepared to pay big money to import it but the answer was NO. So didn't even bother to try and bring my 1964 330GT. Left TW and won't ever go back.
