Thanks, No we don't pay any taxes at all
I forgot to mention my driving impressions: on the sports suspension it's a little firm riding as you'd expect, and a little thumpy with those wide low-profile tyres, but it does have good damping (far better than the usual VW/Audi fare) and little body roll, and inspires huge confidence going quickly through bends. A lot of fun on the open road actually, less fun in town because of the lack of torque (needs variable valve timing!). Steering is quite direct and not bad for feel either, which helps. Far more fun than any recent Volkswagen I've driven, (which is most of them). It's a change, despite the 190E's excellent handling, to have a lighter, more stiffly sprung car.
High revving on the motorway though, and not even attempting to be close to '80s Mercedes interior quality, even if it's not bad for a small car, and far better than Ford's.
