Most probably because we are now in the
EU the regulations have changed,

only thing is, maltese roads are essentially a series of huge potholes linked together by smaller potholes, so the suspension will be shot . . . but you do see loads of rare stuff over there (cortinas, montegos etc) with next to no rust on as its so dry over there!

Your not wrong, I've sold a couple of metro items on ebay that the winning bidders have been in malta. Quite a bit or rare old retro tin on the Greek islands too when I went. |

Compared to the lacework of rust we get over here? I'd rather have shot suspension anyday!!!  |

I was talking to a Malteser and apparently the reason for the high prices of cars there is due to extortionate import duty. He was looking at importing an Impala or a G body from the UK to Malta and said that it would attract something like 66% import duty. Yup thats TWO THIRDS of the price. Then some obscene registration fees, and all that. wow. If that applies across the board a £12K Ford Focus will be like over £20K over there new... No wonder they hang onto their old cars...
