Well, I did export a tahiti blue MGF VVC roadster with beige interior back in the year 2000. (Conan tonight show.. Remember "in the year 2000-sketch?")
Was no biggie as it was transported due to moving. Transport goods just for ***** and giggles would increase tax/duties/toll. And the dollar to pound would not really help you out. So for the moment the person in the states to buy this must surely be a collector. I would guess they would have it in their garage for about 65000 USD all included. Btw, was it RHD?

I never understood the fuss about startech. For the person on the street I would say the N/A is the one impressing the most with it's looks. The SRT with it's performance. The V8 conversions with their surprise and mpg. The startech? Rarity.. True collectors item.

If you have all details to seller I can put it on a free database if you'd like . Did you put it on mobile.de?
