I don't want to elaborate on the identity thing John.

But I were a young enthusiast, looking for a car in the Republic, I'd be
knocking on your door......so to speak!

Thanks for that Chris.

Just out of curiosity, what anomalies have occurred? Sounds like it
would make a good story, but maybe its not the kind of story that
should be put in writing?!

The VRT is absolutely crazy here in Ireland, they once told me that
in total there would be about 8000 euros payable in various taxes and
duties before a DeLorean would be fully imported. I know some guys
over here have managed to get away with paying approximately half
that. Why they think they deserve 8000 euros from the private
importation of a 21 year old car possibly bought for the same price
as the tax itself is beyond me...

THanks,
John
