Finally my new Charger is at home on my drive. It was collected from Southampton yesterday. It managed to survive the ordeal almost unscathed, the only battle scars being a curbed right hand front wheel ( hopefully I can disguise it with little work with a dremmel ) and a mark in the left hand front wing that polished out.

I haven't got any pics of it at home yet so this one will have to do for now.

:-$ £34k including all duties and shipping.

To be honest I probably could have got a better deal at the dealers in Florida but I was due to fly home the next day so didn't have time to sort all the details out, shame really as after only 10 minutes of me chatting they had dropped the price from $48k to $40k!!!!!

In the end I went through a contact from the Uk whose now based in Texas.

Lights need to be converted for SVA and the usual crap like fog lights and side repeaters etc.

Hopefully get that sorted early part of next week, get it SVA'd then registered, desperately trying to get it sorted for Brooklands, especially as its the only Mopar other than the Durango that the wipers work on :D
