Speak to an accountant in the UK, but I would imagine given you are importing the car for business purposes (making videos + repair & resale at a later date) you may be able to write off the VAT which would be a good chunk of the tax gone. Hope you can find some way to make it work, I'd love to see this car finally get sorted rather than continuing to rot on Samcrac's farm :)
@@sresto7943 Could potentially re-export the car back to the US once it's finished, & never actually register it in on the road the UK, + they sell for far more over there & it's a left hand drive anyway
I live in Massachusetts and they estimate 6.25% sales tax based on average retail book value unless you buy from a dealer. The big problem is old restorable cars. I bought an etype convertible basket case once and Massachusetts wanted to charge sales tax higher than I even paid for the car. Doesn't matter if you buy at an auction and can show the price, show photos of it in pieces etc.
Take it Hoovie. Then to the Wizard for Daniel san to do the work. Keep it at Sam’s or Hoovies for when you’re in the States. When done everybody goes to Ed Bolian and Tavarish for a super car roundup. Also Kar Trek is ginning up. So now you have wheels in the US. Bring your wife over and tour the country in your Grand Touring Ferrari. There. Fixed it for you.😊
I would not touch it unless you are planning on wrecking it! The aluminium chassis repairs were done with heat which would have taken a lot of strength out of the structure.
DDE has two 599's they are very cool cars but are definitely not ment to be driven hard , they are great cruising around nice chill Sunday drivers , but unleashing that V12 can cost ya . Besides Scott you got much better things that need finishing.
The duties and VAT are only high because of the value you are placing on the car. Ordinarily vehicles are dismantled before being shipped and then reassembled. Better to partially dismantle and then you can record a genuine lower value. If the ultimate price is conditional on you being able to fix it then you could pay Sam $50k at a later date.
That's kind of funny because my first thought when I saw the car parked there. I could see sam crack leaving a car like that and that kind of is a similar driveway.Did I really think it was his no.😊
Hello from Ireland again, Scott. This is a nice-looking car. It needs money spent on it, so I'm not sure bro. That's crazy money to get back to the U.K., crazy money 💰. Anyway good luck with it Scott. 🙏🙏👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love that car so much! If I had the rebuilding skills needed for that car, I would buy it for $50k in a heart beat! Love the 599 so much and with a GTO kit on it…PERFECTION!
Damn those centre controll buttons looks budget deluxe in this ferrari like if they come from an old Renault or something. He sold it for 10k to you and you put that in the shipping and shows the reciept on it but you acually buy it for 50k? You just send him 40k as an gift from friend to friend.?
I've been subscribed for a while and just had this video pop up on my home page but didn't see on my subscribed page. Yep, no longer subscribed. Not sure why TH-cam does this to my favorite subscriptions occasionally
I’ve seen imported 599 here for about that, they have gone up in value slightly since but don’t forget this car would still need a tonne of money spent on it to finish it

dude has seen some stradman vids
You been watching Jimmy Carr’s tax dodging tips and tricks 😂
But then you may need to sell the car at +VAT

Who would pay $50,000 for this junk? Its worth at least $75,000!
@Samcrac since it goes to the UK, the rule is to change prices from $ to £! Of course, the amount stays the same. Right? Lol
@@metabarun8811🙄
Gift him a watch. The watch you can wear from UK to USA on your wrist. That watch may happen to be a certain value.
2:40 “put his car fixing skills to the ultimate test” voicing over Sam taking a claw hammer and a sawzall to a Ferrari, I bet Sam appreciated that 😂

Sometimes the system sucks !!
OH NO 😧! Not the Sam Crac junkyard cars 😱!!! Florida crappiest cars 🤣
The best place for Supercar shopping
@ LMAO 🤣, this is why I love your channel 👍🏼🍻
I would watch a video of you cleaning that porsche please
It's going to be the next 512BBi style project, once we forget he was the one who parked it outside and let it moss up.

Love the 599 and doing it as a manual GTO conversion will be amazing
I really really want to do it
Great video. The 599 was not the last model with a manual gearbox option: that was the California- although very few were optioned with it. Mark

Unfortunately its the import duty that stops a lot of people from bringing in nice cars from the States!!!
It only gets reasonable when the cars are over 30 years old
@@Ratarossa im sure it will still be in the SamCrac park for another 30 LOL
Could you not "own" it in the US for 6 months and then bring it in as a personal import?
I was happy to see vtuned get his garage bay back.😊
SAME CRAC NEARLY TO THE RESCUE🤪well done GENTLEMEN👍💪
In my humble opinion this Ferrari needs a full recover, its not a job to be done half way.
One of the best looking Ferrari’s ever 🇮🇹🏆🤩
Manual swap it is a 10 out 10 move, really make that v12 sing
Totally agree it needs a manual swap
You could buy the car fix it with parts from Europe then sell it for a good profit, it really could be a good proyect
I think it would be a great project
You need more sponsors
Send it down to Tavarish, he can park it next to Mat Armstrong’s Porsche 😅
Lol
Scott, you needed to be at the goodwood members meeting 2024. A 599GTB sold for low 50k in the Bonhams auction
21:35 with my F40? Mmmmm seriously? Is there a hint sir ratarossa?
Undoubtedly the CHICKEN said “what’s it going to take to put you in this car today”😉😄😁😆😁
Fix it out there and sell it
Hell yeah ratarossa vid to top off sunday!
I can get you that car shipped and insured for cheaper

But doesn’t it then come in as car parts and not vehicle ? Which means you cannot then register it here to drive
@Ratarossa If you do not want it to drive, you do not need to register it. You can sell it to Europe because of the LHD. Maybe the VAT is lower?
Yes, that would look nice with the rattarossa touch❤
Not another project!! Been waiting to see the BBi finished for years!!
If you ever need storage in hurst, givr me a shout 🙌
What if you tore down the car and imported them as parts?
Sir Rattie,
Your content is excellent!
Salutations from Belfast Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
Thank you kindly
Damn Freddie Hernandez should take this beauty on.
Thats not an OE factory wing.
Build a summer home on Sam's property for a winter home... Rent it out if you want.
my sweet summer child, that tax in Denmark is more like 200%. I bought an old merc for 25k and paid 45k to register it
Nice ferrari❤❤🎉🎉
Negotiate the sale price down to 10k the tax won’t be so bad then
That’s the plan
Did you buy Sam crac v12 cuz I was wondering where this car Went
Such a shame the UK tax laws have scuppered the deal as would love to see that 599 get restored, maybe Freddie would be interested ??
I really want to build this 599. I could make it soooo cool
That's kind of funny because my first thought when I saw the car parked there. I could see sam crack leaving a car like that and that kind of is a similar driveway.Did I really think it was his no.😊

My thoughts exactly
I'd love to see you take this on 😊
I would seriously love to do this project
50k saved for the F40.....
Love the 599.❤ Have a look at what the DDE boys did to theirs. Insane with manual swaps.😂
I’ll check that out
Wow that shipping price 😮😮 normally car from florida to EU cost around 600e
Yes on buying it
At least you didn't have to swallow the parts to sneak them past customs😮
Way too big for that, these parts are made to be transported rectally
@longjohn77 for a moment, I thought you thought I was serious.😀
Petition to change the government !
Yep
I love that car so much! If I had the rebuilding skills needed for that car, I would buy it for $50k in a heart beat! Love the 599 so much and with a GTO kit on it…PERFECTION!
GTO kit and manual swap
I am paralyzed so I can’t drive a manual, so for me I’d be leaving the trans alone! Makes it cheaper for me! I have always wanted a 599!
Yeah, that's not going to work. Would be a great project car for someone based in the US though. Deserves to be fully restored.
Won't UK Gov think of the Ferrari importers??
You have to get it!!!
Agreed
Maybe import it in parts and not a complete car 🤷♂️
Please buy it and rebuild it,it’s my favorite car😔❤️
I really want to and put the GTO kit on it
thx Scott
Take it to Tavarish's and spend the UK winter in Florida fixing it. Then sell it and buy one back in the UK. A left hand drive in UK? nah.
Fantastic as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Ι love your passion and your work
Just watched you on samcrac with the 430,now watching u at his house😊
Ha ha
1 hour crew here 😊
You'd be stupid not to buy that thing there's not too many more around anymore
I want to
Its a lovely project. Like it alot.
Could've checked that import site prior to flying out - car is spent anyway !
Would they charge as much VAT/Duty if the value was less (like $1). Make an alternate arrangement for the balance with Sam?
Could you ship the car and engine separately as parts and pay a lot less tax?
I think it’s possible. But would need to make sure it could still be registered as a car
60k uk for a 599 I was looking otherday crazy numbers
Take the engine out and ship the body and the engine separate as parts etc then rebuild ?
Too bad about the VAT and import taxes.
She’s a real Samcrac special that’s for sure
"Mark as gift" :D
Lol
F40 shipped from state side smooth drop in there now the question is what f40 did u get
Cheaper to move to Florida with no state income tax
If I don’t have kids I probably would
Weirdly SMC doesn't allow you to check shipping rates if you're located in Europe and trying to access their website. Seems a bit shortsighted of them
I’ll ask them why this happens
and left hand drive
Last Video: Fixing the 512BBi is $$$!😢
This Video: I bought a 599! 😮
Next Video: No funds for F40! 😢
Future Video: I bought a 812 SF! 😊
lol the F40 title is correct
I heard something I liked . F40 shipping cost❤🎉
lol … good ears
tnx for the video
yeah!!
Rough as a badgers ass this needs a lot of love ❤
$20K/£16K just to ship it?
F all of that.
1.5-2k I done it before in a 20 container.
It’s insane … on a 17 year old car

lol if only it were that simple
@Ratarossa Why cannot make it do simple?
Can you import it into Ireland for any cheaper, and then bring it on into the UK?
Your videos are an example of how to make quality and interesting content. Thank you so much for your hard work!💘🖲💧
Call in a favour with Tavarish and use his shop to rebuild it out there?
Put it on a dinghy in France. That's how most entry requirements are avoided.
Lol
Lame comment. Covert prejudice is always ugly. Just own it and be proud.
Epic road trip
You give sam a 45k christmas present, and he sells you the car for 5k ;)
🤣
fucking hell, the extra 16k is bonkers. I was sold until then.
Me to …. Literally could believe what a rip off it was tax and duty on a 17 year old car.
Great donor car for someone doing a Ferrari build …. 🤔
