That was a great shake down test doing that distance! Beautiful car and a lovely colour. Can't wait to see it in the flesh!
Two TVR V8s in Ireland on the same weekend! Class!

Well done John! Have you acquired the gold medallion and have the hairy chest on show for when you go for drives? I imagine the rumble is fantastic!

For VRT remember will need a company to do the VAT and duty, however because of the type car it is will get away with 13% VAT instead of 23%

Chest hair and medallions compulsory plus I recommend some number plate alterations along the lines of below:

Is the reg in reference to his p*rn star name?

Ha, thanks... thankfully the medallion and chest wig were left in the boot

The rumble is indeed great.. must head for drive some day.. would love to see that GT4!

Yeah, I have one of the Customs Clearance Co. doing the VAT.. thankfully no duty due.. that's right, just the 13.5% VAT which isn't too bad all things considered.

I remember that Tuscan in Waterford back in the Tiger days.. Any idea if it's still around?

Congrats man, if right was right every petrol head should experience a car like your TVR at least once.

Nice little gathering at the port as well, was the other TVR heading over to Ireland as well?

Hope you have many happy years driving it and most importantly, listening to that V8

Do you have any idea of what they look for in order to "qualify" for the lower 13% VAT rate?

Saw this near Nutgrove over the weekend. Looks awesome.

Apologies, I'm only seeing some comments now. Yeah, the 400 SE belongs to a friend and was coming in on the same day, so we decided to do a Tri-colour photo

Cheers Titan, appreciate it.

As long as the car is 30 years old it should qualify. There is some wording about being 'original' or some such too. however, I don't think this is looked at too closely. This is what I was told by my Customs broker:

"Please be advised that Customs Duty is levied on the CIF Ireland value at the rates applicable in TARIC and you will also be liable to pay VAT on import into Ireland.

The standard rate of VAT is 23% on the CIF Dublin Value + any Customs Duties.

As a classic car, if accepted by Customs, then the Duty would be zero and the VAT @ 13.5%"

Nice one JF_cole... my first "spot"!
