How to find an OMSP for a Lotus?

Is there any way to find out the OMSP for VRT of those cars that are not in the revenue online calculator before i would travel to England to buy the car? For example there are no Lotus at all in that calculator, and it matters a lot if the OMSP is 20k or 40k taking into account the VRT is 41% not to mention the VAT on top of that. Thanks

Hi Balazs,

I'm afraid there is no way to get the OMSP on a car for definite if it is not already on the Revenue calculator. The best you can do is scour classifieds in Ireland for as similar a car as possible to get a feel for how much they go for here, but obviously that's very difficult to do when it's a rare car. Revenue won't give you an answer before the car arrives for inspection, either, which is quite frustrating for buyers in your position.
