Thank daedalus.

Tommy, all the exotics here are shipped via air freight due to the extremely high import taxes. It costs maybe 1% of the purchase price.

Interesting, I just assumed it would cost more than a business class ticket to ship an exotic from the UK to South Africa.

It is. Car costs $425k USD here. I think to have it sent via air freight is around $10,000-$15,000. Ok so it's more than 3-4% of the purchase price
