Some how i like the pic with the car covered much more then the one VP has posted . its not the quality but its the sheer suspense that makes it more and more interesting.

VP – No offence dude.

Flato, I'm curious. If its true, could you elaborate on the subject?! Instead of keeping us in suspense.

[v12]

Apparently demo car from the east

It could be true but how can u be so sure.

[SPEED_DEMON82]

What do you mean when you say a 'demo car' from the 'east'??? Could you please enlighten us on this flato?

[flato]

[SIZE=2]Guys cant disclose too much but this an't a new F430 ordered on waitlist from Italy....this is what I heard from a reliable source.......east meaning right hand drive markets - K.L - Sing. [/SIZE]

[comfortablywacky]

Falto....you based in London...but seem to be knowing more than what we know...just one question...why would someone ship the car from the East to Italy and then back here?? Whats he trying to prove???

Hey Gordy...Nice pic there...the car cover itself looks so Fab...just wondering what how would the beauty look undressed!!

[flato]

[SIZE=2]New cars coming in have to come with Conformity Certificates which are issued by the country of orgin....You can't ship a car directly from a location other than the place of manufacture. You will be liable for a large fine and possible refusal of clearance. [/SIZE]

[v12]

You can't ship a car directly from a location other than the place of manufacture.

That actually is a rule that it can be imported from the country of manufacture. It also states that the car should not have been registered in any other country. If its a demo car it would not have been runnin on Dubai or any Middle East country plates. So its possible that the same car has been shipped back to Italy and sold to him at a discounted price.

[comfortablywacky]

Well falto and V12 ... if its necessary to import a car from its place of manufacture then how you goona get a right hand drive from Italy??
and if its not manufactured in Italy...then why was it not imported from that place itself??

[v12]

Doesn't Ferrari manufacture RHD 430's in Italy itself?
And aren't laws meant to be broken. The law states that it should be imported from the country of manufacture. But who follows the law. The amount of LX470's u see here, 90% are imported from Dubai under the TR scheme.

As I said he could have got it at a discounted rate because its a demo car. Anyways does it matter from where the car has come. Its come and thats more than enough for us.

Brand new cars imported through a dealer or under OGL have to come with CC ....which can be got if you pull the right strings through the right dealer in Europe....secondly even if the car has been registered in another country the indian customs will not know if they provide a new car invoice from the dealer in Italy.... most T.R cars have come in on used car catagory --160% odd duty.
Ferrari is another cup of tea.....you can't compare it with any other car out there! There are a lot more eyes on these high end vehicles.....and lastly the customs scene in India has changed significantly since the EPCG scam.

Read my post properly before you reply to it buddy. I was just bringing out the irony.
