    Yep like the S65 and Phantom Drophead with the CEO and GOD plates.

    Is it 1 year? I thought just 3 months.

    Please correct me if I am wrong. I reckon iIt is a criminal offence even a T-plate is used on a LHD car starting from some time last year

    I think there is nothing illegal about properly using a proper t-plate on a LHD car in the course of a business. There are lots of LHD cars in Yuen Long in shipment to China on t-plates and police seem fine with that. Police will be extremely strict on "properness". How can SMD be in the course of a business??? The 8C massively failed even if a RHD car with no front plate

    I always wondered why there weren't more cars getting nabbed on SMDs. Perhaps the owner of a T-plate car could claim to be going on a test drive? As long as he has the proper logbook and paperwork in the car, how can the police prove otherwise?

    Hi all, first time poster here. I would like to whether or not anyone here has comments and/or previous experience with a dealer called Ben's Motors. My family is quite interested in buying our first exotic from them. We've never dealt with a non-official dealer so any tips/etc would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks everyone!

    Interesting that you were allowed to take photos down there. Nice one! What the heck is a Chrysler Crossfire doing in there?!

    Saw a light blue Chrysler Crossfire convertible or coupe in Tai Wo once, with normal license plates. Confused me as to what it was until I realised.

    RHD Chrysler products were imported years ago, Cross Fire, PTs and 300 but did not sell well. Now we have new Jeep also but sitting in importers lot. HK is not a American cars market with Dah Chong Hong doing Cadillac/Olds for decades but gave up after. There are several Cross Fire listed under 28car.com for years. Price is not bad but not sure re servicing/parts. Most are MB parts as we know.

    I myself have seen 2 Jeep Wranglers in 2 and 4-door forms running around HK Island before. I remember seeing a Chrysler 300 sitting in one of the showrooms on Gloucester Rd back in August 2006.

    Well... I just had a look at the cars, talked to the dealers/salesmen and -women and asked them if it was OK if I took some pictures. All of them said of course, it's no problem :) And I didn't pretend to buy a car there, I always said I'm just a tourist :)

    Besides all the exotics there were also a lot of normal cars.
