My dear Mr Turk,

I do feel that exports to a part of Europe for your "car" may be possible. However I am sure that the French would have nothing to do with it, unless of course you could incorporate a wine bottle, sausage, and string of garlic, holder somewhere on the vehicle.
And in any case, unless you could brand it as Peugeot, Renault, or some such, they probably would not purchase them anyway. Local content would appear to be the key, although from my experiences with this race, locals incontinent is more likely to be the case.

No- far more likely to succeed would be exports to the likes of Romania, Estonia, or Bulgaria. These countries are, so far, unsullied by requirements such as reliability or value for money, Their road networks are very simialr to those of olde engande, so questions of top speed etc. would not be raised. Plus they have no extradition treaties with your land, so non- returnable deposits would work well.

Maybe you could sell them that batch of race-prepared RS's which you abandoned in the desert some while ago? You know, the SC version, "Specially Crude" ones?

I, of course, remain etc.
