F31 B3 BiTurbo #059 (in Japan)

Post by Bob » Wed Jul 21, 2021 11:17 pm

Spotted this RHD B3 Wagon that went through the auctions the other week, finished up as a Provisional Sale agreed at just shy of £20k. Wonder if it will end up over here?

Am I wrong in thinking that would be £35-38k or so over here? Seems value at £20k, but then imagine that shipping fees, import duty, VAT etc etc might make it less attractive to a UK buyer. Still a lovely thing mind you.

This week we are quoted for a 40' container (cost, insurance & freight) from Malaysia to Southampton USD14,000. I suppose you'd only need a 20' for a car, but I wouldn't be surprised if that would be USD10,000! Best wait for the container shipping crisis to calm down first I reckon :roll:

That kind of cost for shipping does put a dampener on the idea but as Matt said, you’d be looking at mid-£30k’s for a UK car with double the miles (if you can find one)

2 years ago the same 40’ containers would have been about $1,500!
