    $2k before VAT... not bad at all considering that we commonly see nice ones sell for $4k and up. With VAT and shipping to the States it's a bit steeper, but still not that bad.

    Bought one at TRE last year for $1,400. Dave said the next shipment he got would be more. Guess he was right.

    I cant wrap my mind around the cost of body panels for these cars. Some stuff I get. Engine parts, mechanical components....but body panels? doesnt make any sense.
