Will be interesting to see if it comes onto the market and at what price. For some reason that I cannot see why, US cars are worth less than the equivalent euro or UK cars.

Euro cars are available for tax free import into the UK for less than 500K GBP but with higher mileage. However I've just remembered that there is a strange rule about importing a car into the UK from Europe with less than 6000Km you will get taxed since it will count as a new car. So maybe it made sense to get this low miler into the UK.

I don't think too many sub 1000 mile examples are left through out Europe therefor collectors have no choice but to import from US.

You are probably right. I have seen a couple of sub 500km cars in the past year, but they are few in number.

The Europeans, particularly the Germans do like to use their cars. It has been mentioned previously but there was an Italian car with over 100,000 km for sale about 3 months ago.

Shows the robustness of these cars.

old design

the press release is outdated and was published before the carrera gt became a production car. luckily they changed the design quite a bit too. the link is about the car which was shown in paris. the us spec car has 612 hsp.

Strikes me as very fishy. Pics appear to be of different cars. Two locations listed. Must sell quickly. Proceed with caution.

I remember that ad from last year or so. The owner had too many toys as I recall. I will see if I still have the details. I was told it sold last year ('13) when I inquired about it. I looked at quite a few, and I definitely remember it, just don't know if I kept the details.

my ex business partner bought a silver/red with 4k miles or so for that price in early '09… I was going for it but had too many cars at the time and passed it up (mistake)… will get one for sure… best road car I've ever driven, been racing for most my life and it's the closest thing to a race car I've ever driven without it being a race car… tried buying it off him a few times, but I think he prefers to be buried in it first…

From one of the pics it shows it to be the The former VRalexandar CGT,just no more black rims. If it is I read somewhere that car had a fishy title. Beware if it is in fact that car
