Thrascar will ship from anywhere but prices change depending on the 
location.

Actually it has nothing to do with the country of origin - the car has 
been classified as "item of historic interest", in other words, it's an 
item of value to bring in to the country, so should be encouraged. 
Imports per se should not be encouraged and hence taxes are levied, but 
an "item of historic interest" can be anything from a Ming vase to a 
DeLorean which will increase the value of the pound - it makes the 
country richer.
