I bought my Dart from Australia - it cost about the same amount as this one, then there was the £800 carridge fee, boxing it up and tramsporting it to the docks cost me £200 (very cheap because he was doing me a favour) - - - - and then there the inport duty and tax when it gets to this country - nearly £1,000 - and you can't argue wiith them + storage costs at the docks ( I had not heard of this one £35 a day) it was there over a week because of the time the letter took to get to me and arranging to pick it up neary £275 - so your looking at around £4,000 to get an original shell - you can see why a lot of peaple are buying copies off Andy!!
