Nice Daytona for under 200.000 US

keep your mitts off our rhd cars - hehehehe

rhd =

 

That looks very nice. Duncan has sold some nice cars over the years. I met him in Bahrain. Nice Guy.

 

Uh Jim...

 

??

 

Jim,

do you mean Adrian, as iirc Duncan Hamilton has been dead for some yrs now
or are you talking bout back in the day ?

 

Ah

Sorry I meant Adrian. I was referring to their trading name.

 

Fantastic car and one of the best and most fair sellers in the industry. The price is spot on for such a car in the UK as it is discounted due to being LHD in a part of the world that favors RHD!

My FIA/GT 1275S Mini Cooper that I race in Europe was sourced through Adrian's business. It too was discounted to an extremely fair price as a result of being LHD.

If you understand the logistics of vehicle movement, export, import and registration from one part of the world to another, there can be some real bargains. A word of caution however, make sure you perform a full inspections and understand the full cost and expense of shipping taxes and registration on a vehicle purchased overseas before you complete any transaction.

Cheers,

Bill

 

This is symptomatic of our very weak pound at the moment. A lot of cars are leaving UK shores at bargain prices, but then I suppose a lot of them came here when it was $2- £1.

 

it is RHD

 

Hm, I have to alert a friend. Daytona's are very thin on the ground here, and LHD is out of the question as an import. This car might fit his bill perfectly.

 

There are quite a few Daytona's for sale in the UK at the moment. Asking prices between 125 and 160k. Try Pistonheads for instance.

Thanks Onno, I'll spend some time looking around!

 

Well, I haven't - bought a RHD UK boxer 6 months ago that might disappear to Dutch shores. Still on UK plates for the foreseeable future, though.

The one advantage you have is you're the only ones in Europe that have RHD so it's quite likely to return even if it leaves. I know of a RHD Boxer that was in Holland for a couple of years and that has been back in the UK for years.

Onno-

Any real-world issues for you driving an RHD car in an LHD world? (overtaking issues come to mind most obviously) esp. on 2 lane roads....anything else not so obvious to me?

I think a rhd car in a lhd country makes the car even more exotic. I would love to have a rhd Boxer. For the 2-5k miles per year I drive it, the rhd would be no problem whatsoever...

 

Hi Tritone,

for a car that is as exotic as a 365 Boxer, I have no issues with it as I only use the car occasionally. It has to be said that I've got at least as much experience driving RHD as LHD, having lived in the UK and South Africa, so that helps. At the moment, the car is meant to stay in the UK, but I will be using it a lot on mainland Europe. Upcoming June I'm taking her to the Alps, and the overtaking issue will be slightly irritating on mountain roads if you're stuck behind a truck going uphill. The only other issue is toll booths and parking tickets - if I'm on my own I have to get out and walk around the car.

I used to drive a LHD DeLorean in RHD London UK.

After about 2 days you dont even notice you are on the wrong side.

Also, overtaking is less of an issue in a Ferrari - hard in DeLorean due to lack of pick up.

Scam????

 

Of course a scam. A chassis number in the 15000 region should have pop-up lights.

Anamera is a reputable site but who knows? It's strange to have a LH car in AUS. If you're interested in finding out post is AUS section of FCHAT.

Someone there will be able to check out NZ seller and determine if it's real.

 

The site linked is in Indonesia........

 

LMAO!

 

Fairly certain it's a scam.
