The cabs will cost the equivalent of about R225 000, according to Geely, about a third of what they cost in Britain. :shock:

Well how much will it cost if you import 1 yourself, I think about 14k, with all the taxes and shipping, the UK dealers will be sheeting themselves

Wasn't there an EU issue a while back which said firms couldn't charge more for having right hand drive vehicles.

I think it was a way of stopping the car makers screwing the likes of us buying motors on the continent cheaper than here. :?
