It's only £4k. Almost worth looking into bringing it back to the UK.

Get your money Out.
In January 2019 #819, a Raven Black R75V8, came up for sale in Pretoria at only few hundreds more. Appears to be the "market price" for R75V8's in South Africa. I did find out what importation and transport to the UK would cost and believe me it would NOT be worth it. Vehicle cost @ £4,000, ~£4,000 container sea-transport, port handling fees (both ends), costs of registration, 10% duty and UK VAT on all of that... and then fixing the MIL light to get it MOT'd.Originally Posted by SCP440
Fanciful ideas of driving one back (like Richard Hammond did with an Opel Kadett B), came out as massively more expensive than a container, and highly dangerous!

Probably comes with Omicron

Yes I came to the same conclusion getting it back. I know someone who brought an Escort MK1 with a low mileage and in immaculate condition from South Africa, the costs to get it back exceeded what he had paid for the car and if it had been a lesser vehicle he would have been out of pocket.
