Well folks, day after tomorrow I shall be in Limassol, away from the 14th century south London, and into the 21st century.

My hired car will be waiting for me and the grandchildren so anxious to ...pounce on my two suitcases containing, what else ??? My only grandson had his 6th birthday yesterday, first time I miss it, I have promised him to bring along his birthday present, he is very much into trucks, diggers and ...Kokka !!

My other two, the oldest 10 and the youngest 4, both girls of course, are excited at the prospect of being thoroughly spoiled.

As for buying a car, decided to get one in Cyprus hassle free etc.

Long Llive Cyprus the Greatest Nation On Earth, ( the USA SECOND )

Wise move

We worked out for a modest second hand car under 1650 cc the extra cost to bring to Cyprus including shipping, duty, registration etc., was about 2 grand. Anything up to 1650 is rated at I think 51c per cc. Over 1650cc and it began to get massive because of the duty at something like euro 3.51 per cc (about 2 Cyprus quid in real money) before allowances for age, mileage and emissions. A newish low mileage 2 litre car could attract as much as seven grand in excise duty, if not more if the co2 was high. That meant about an extra 8 grand to bring in a bigger engined car.

Just found that that in September the rules excise tax on bring a car from the Eu changed for the better and, for some cars, with low CO2 emissions, it is now down to a base price of 0.02 euro per cc, so eg a Toyota Prius 1.8 will cost EUR 35.94...

Makes the game a bit different for importing...

yes, that's a massive change.

In the meantime Milti, perhaps an offer for "g"IG's motor. It has the advantage of one ridiculously careful lady owner...
