Switzerland always did strike us as one of those countries only wealthy people know about. Its an international playground of mystery where the laws know no bounds, the beer flows like wine, and you can pick up Italian racing cars tax free. Not surprisingly, F1-sales.com is offering duty-free purchases through the Zurich airport. Really curious how that conversation would go, "Yes, I'll take a carton of Parliament, a fifth of Grey Goose, and a '93 Benetton chassis No. 04." While still rather expensive (at least six figures American), we fail to find the sticker shock. We'd have thought such high performance vehicles, even 15 years out, would have to be worth millions of dollars in precision automobile components. Maybe it's the sweet tax break.
