12 x 250 SWB's on the Swiss Guys Stand , None for Sale - ''openly'' Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login View attachment 1025474
Everything is for sale. Most of these cars are stored in Switzerland, and pulled out of the war chest Vault , so when they come into France they are under bond and just for exhibition. They are not allowed to be offered for sale under the bond waiver of 22% TVA (tax), and the duties on top of that. So, they come in for the exhibit , free of tax given they must leave. Its a simpler type of import regime. Big risk of any of them are offered for sale- hence the printed sign on each car. That's according to a historian on their stand. Sort of amazing that here on our shores, the duty is only 2.7%..........
I focused on details. Album here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1690314631029275.1073742061.173013032759450&type=1&l=bab1d1b014.
This was my car! Don’t ask how much but ask how long...... BTW great car, I enjoyed it very much and amongst a lot km’s three time MM’s without any major issues. Ciao Oscar
Unlike some of us , the car did not age!! Yes you did MM without assistance, well done! Did you also do one tour auto with it? Would you buy it back? One of my friend, well known for driving a Maserati 200S was interested. How good to drive?? Cheers P
Ciao P, Yes, sad to see things stay young and we grow older......but hey still did some nice and fast races last year! No I did not do the TA with it, only with my 275, I think for now 6 times..unlike you....yours 12 time or so? And the MM, and the Clm.. Nice car, but strange place to sell in my opinion. Not one of the high end brokers. Car is very nice, agile and fast, although the balance can be better. But hey it is a 67 year old car. I have a 550 Barchetta perhaps for sale, nice car for the Maserati owner... Not my cup of tea, you were right about it... Ciao Oscar
Actually did Tour Auto with one of previous owner, Sielecki, as I remember seeing pictures of the car there! Will call you Good week end
