    Bugatti Veyron in South Africa



    Spotted in Cape Town - the car has Monacan license plates??

    Same thing with the Enzo that was spotted here, had UK plates.

    I thought they wouldn't make it RHD, so it's illegal in SA..
    otherwise he would've been first

    Re: Bugatti Veyron in South Africa

    The Bugatti makes sense in Germany on unrestricted Autobahns and without any other taxation than VAT. In South Africa with their taxes, I think Mike did a better choice going for the Lambo + RR instead of a Veyron

    Thanks for posting though, it's an interesting color

    From this angle it looks as though the guy with the camera is shooting past the Veyron to get a clear side shot of that hot Volvo convertible

    Re: Bugatti Veyron in South Africa

    you can take LHD or RHD to pretty much any country on a carnet de passage or in the case of Australia, if you are working for less than one year you can take your car with you. For example there is a LHD 997 C4S Cab in Victoria with Califronia plates that I know of - I am sure South Africa would have similar exceptions.

    Mike, you can buy a LHD car you like (Enzo, CGT etc) here in Tokyo, when you need it, I will ship it to you by air, you will have it with 48 hours each time and I will organise for it to come back to Japan each time - I work in logistics so no problem there. The catch is you let me have a drive every now and then : )

    As much as I want to like the Veyron and the R8, I can't place it, but they do nothing for me.

    You can bring them in on a permit if they are registered in another country but need to ship it back for a certain time before being able to bring it back again. Not ideal if you live here
