Allora For Sale - LHD in Germany near Cologne

**Allora#2** · 06-03-2022, 22:28

Hello everybody,
yes, it's my car that's for sale!
i've had it for almost 12 years now and had a lot of fun with it
i would now like to pass this experience to another person
so I decided to sell the Stratos.
i think 79,000 euro are fair but it's negotiable
btw. the car comes with a lot of spare parts.
saluti Enzo

this picture is from 26.01.2010 when i pick up the Stratos!

That helps a little Enzo - we can see that it still has an MOT history visible on the UK DVLA site which might mean it's not been recorded as permanently exported. If you still have the UK registration document it may be possible to bring it back into the UK on a trailer with that number plate attached and avoid any issues with VAT on export/import? That may make it more attractive to UK buyers? Do you still have the Uk V5 registration document?

Hi Guy, unfortunately i have no registration and no V5 papers
the original papers have been confiscated by the office at the German registration..
i only have the GB license plates and a photo from V5.

I did check with DVLA and unfortunately it is classed as permanently exported so HMRC import taxes would be charged.... Would we have been free from this without Brexit?

HMRC import taxes by price or by value? a lot can be written on paper

I would love to import this car to the USA and would seriously consider doing that. Is the car RHD or LHD. Looks to be LHD but want to confirm. BTW, if anyone in the USA has a Stratos (its like looking for a leprechaun riding a unicorn) for sale in the USA I'm very interested in seeing what you have. PM me please.
