    Still in the perfect state I bought from JM. A function of very few miles, I'm afraid, but otherwise good. Not sure about the Rally-off to the UK next week for a month, so probably not.

    So, is there a 250 California in Perth? If so, is it here permanently? Why Italian plates?

    I have no idea; but I can't see anyone paying $2 million to $5 million US and then another 43% on top for tax.

    might have a import license.

    and then take it along to a FCA event and 8 out of ten would not even know what it was.

    Paul Vestey has brought his California out for a couple of Classic Adelaides. Seen three of them while over here in the USA.

    no doubt about it, you're always a good source of misinformation.

    Sorry Pap but the Krudd Gumminmint has made the LCT laws even more convoluted.
    New rules now are that cars that get 7.0L/100km fuel consumption or better get subjected to LCT at $75k.

    You'll start seeing diesels as base models for euro marques trying to exploit this exemption. Good example is the recently released Merc E class Sedan, the base model is the E220 Diesel at $80k compared to the base E250 petrol which is around $94k. Almost 15k difference!

    still the yanks probably pay 1/3 what we do :mad:

    This car definitely had WA plates "59 CAL"
    No expert, but looked and sounded the part-LWB, I think.
