Re: [doc] How to minimize expenses on importing a Delorean to theUK? Help

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joseph

I know Stephen and imported my own car a couple of years ago. Those 
prices seem rediculous, and I'll get in contact with him to help him 
sort it all out. For your own info, shipping should be between $1000 and 
$1500 typically, and taxes once in this country should be 5% of purchase 
price because of being able to classify a DeLorean as an item of 
historic interest, which carries a much lower tax category.
