When importing a car you had to pay the Luxury good tax that was 33% of the price. This particular car started her life as a 1976 Porsche 3.0 Carrera. Owner wanted to change it for a 930 turbo but the import taxes and luxury tax made the change very expensive. He then flew to Stuttgart, bought a 1981 Porsche 911 turbo (bought it tax free) and drove it back to Spain, he smuggled the car through border and then changed all the parts from the Turbo to its Spanish Carrera 3.0. All the above could sound a bit strange nowadays but was a fairly common practice on those days when importing a car meant to pay almost a 50% surcharge because of taxes. BODYWORK The car resurfaced some years ago and was completely restored. Body was peeled to bare metal and then carefully painted black. MECHANICS Suspension, brakes, wheels and tyres were renewed.

LOCATION The car is currently located in Madrid, Spain. #HVLcampaign
