Aha, you see I thought I was being quoted identical models, I should have looked into that a bit more. Either way, the price to import a car standalone shouldn't be much more than £500 (well, that's the price it was when I was looking to import from Japan several years ago now). But, if they're converting it to a right hand drive, it might be more justified.

I remain optimistic that the pricing elsewhere will be more reasonable and even the autocar price is an estimate at this point. Hopefully all our concerns will be laid to rest in two days.
