It will/should be 50% cheaper than a proper UK car.

Plus the Registration Document would tell you.

Will it **** be 50% cheaper than a UK car.... it should be dearer than it's UK equivalent!

Stugsey,
Easy and quick tell tales are rear wash wipe, auto button for intercooler spray, 8k rev limit on clocks.

Last but by no means least is the VIN number. It will read GDB-XXXXXX. A UK car's VIN number will be a shedload longer.

One thing for sure it won't have been owned by an old fart.

There won't be a flat four burble, will accelerate like a scolded cat, will have the auto spray button, rear wash wipe, privacy glass on the rear windows and the clutch pedal will need depressing to start the car.

A nasty bolt on rear fog light. Possibly even bolted into the rear bumper. - This was def on classics.

They may have fixed it for bug+
