John Bradley> Here's a question: in order to raise the cash to break
into the not-too-shabby XK 150 league, I am considering selling the
soon-to-be immacculate Healey and I hear that prices might be higher
in Europe than here in the US. The question is - where is the market
hottest? The Brits might shy away from the left hand drive, but I
know the French love 'em. What about Germany? Italy even?
Germany has a tax system to discourage importation of cars. If you
bring a car into the country to either keep or sell, you must pay a
large percentage of the declared value of the car, like 40% or
something. Declaring a lowball value is easily prevented, as they
retain the right to BUY the car for the declared value and resell it
themselves. This applies to all cars, new or old.
My understanding is that you would be best off in England. The
left-hand drive is apparently not a problem, and the Brits have the
greatest appreciation for their own cars.
