At least they were both working.Dark car, dark skies, what could go wrong? Lol. He obviously feels the cars lights are its main feature.
Barely used, I reckon it’s never been out in the daylight.....hence the nocturnal pics.That is a very nice GTS by the look of it. Love the red stitching and alcantara

Yup, welcome to Oz car prices!
It would be even more expensive here in Portugal. A ropey DS with 100,000kms + is £40k

Regarding Oz pricing though, i wonder, when Boris says its OK to do the "Australian deal" with the EU would it result into Australian prices afterwards?
Cars will cost more in UK after Brexit, says industry chief
PSA and Bentley warn of extra tariffs and vent frustration at last-minute trade talkswww.ft.com
This link only gives the headline "Cars will cost more in UK after Brexit, says industry chief ", as the rest is behind the FT paywall. Here is an open copy (probably): https://www.ft.com/content/1ef30632-bde7-4b0b-9c7a-d9501cc78aaa
The 'industry chief' is Alison Jones UK MD at Goupe PSA. So basically a spokesperson for the EU and Remain, having a last go at 'project fear'.
She is talking about the possibility of EU tariffs, which if they happened, might add 15% to the cost of cars imported from the EU. This compares with the self-imposed Australian luxury car tax of 33%, which is completely different. And real.
I maybe wrong....but predicting the future is a fairly difficult thing to do.....generally
It's very difficult to do!
But people (I'm not getting at anyone in particular here) do it with an air of confidence and certainty, to try to prove some sort of (usually political) point. During Brexit, there were a lot of (economic) predictions made, which were expressed as certainties, when it suited an argument. And economists and politicians were claimed to have the same level of 'expert' status as airline pilots or surgeons, even though the former were making wild guesses and the latter were preforming complex tasks after years of training.
One clue is that wild guesses by 'expert forecasters' tend to be expressed as certainties, such as "Cars will cost more in UK after Brexit" or "The stockmarket will crash if you elect Biden" or "The UK's GDP will drop by £4,300 per family if you vote Brexit", whereas predictions by 'subject experts' tend to have cautious caveats, like "the testing carried out to date suggests that the vaccine should be 90% effective."
