That Ferrari was just registered as a taxi to avoid the duties or so... And it was never used as a taxi as well. Its now rotting up in some customs office in Bangalore i think..

I think there was a post/thread on TBHP that BMW 7series can be rented for 7-8k per day.

The Ferrari was brought under the EPCG scheeme and is for private use. I purposely left the All India Permit part on the plate so that it does not give anyone the immpression that it is a temp number. There are many cars for private use sporting Taxi plates. The Phantom and Bentley flying spur included.

Karthik the car is from the stables of one well known collector and is not rotting in some custom office in Bangalore. it stands in the owners Garage.

Here is a Bentley flying spur sporting Taxi plates and the picture was originally posted by Flyingspur in the Bentley thread.

It is not, it was mpounded by customs, the oowner kept his security detail around it, paid up the penalties and took it back

Mercedes E class for 80 km is Rs 8000 and Rs 80 for every km after 80.
Surely the Bmw 7 series will be more then that.
