Mumbai guys

A black SLR has just recently arrived in Mumbai and now burning the roads. Its LHD and is running a UAE no. Keeps your eyes open fellows. Photo boys keep your shutters ready.

Awesome news Dippy, when do we get to see some pics.

Now where are all those guys who said importing a LHD is NOT possible or has not been done since the rule? Like I said, money/power speaks in our country.

Dippy · 1st October 2007, 11:23

Rahul, its broughht down on CARNET. You can bring down a car in LHD under that rule. The car will be here for a year atleast.

Total drool maal I must say ..

edit : Alright pardon my ignorance !! Might sound like a dumb question...

Now who covers the insurance part when a car is bought down like this ? Would it be a local Indian Insurance agency ?

What is an ATA Carnet?
The ATA Carnet is an international customs document that permits duty-free and tax-free temporary import of goods during its validity period. The initials "ATA" are an acronym of the French and English words "Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission." ATA Carnets cover:

Commercial samples
Professional equipment
Goods for presentation or use at trade fairs, shows, exhibitions and the like.

Welcome to FICCI ATA Carnet

As simple as temporary import. Wherein you import your car for a specific period (i think it is 6 months) and you take it back when this period expires.

khanak · 1st October 2007, 11:33

WOW!!! An SLR is great news.

Any clues as to who owns it? Cant wait to see some pics

speedy · 1st October 2007, 11:37

thats great news guys. now the only thing left is to find out where the car is and get some pictures of it.
yes Gordon the car can be here for a time period of 6 months and then has to be taken back. also the car does not need to be registered to indian plates.

Yep Nash Youre right the Diablo was down on CARNET

artofzen · 1st October 2007, 11:52

So even the Kuwaiti BLING hummer might be also on CARNET?

the hummer and the escalade i think are on carnet. if they have been brought in by the counsulate then the 6 months time frame does not apply to them. if they have been brought in by a private person then in 6 months they go back.
dippy has'nt the escalade been here for more than 2 years now?

Sahil · 1st October 2007, 12:39

Oh boy ! This is gonna be something to look out for, any clues on who's got it down? what part of town ?
