I have found another place that has 6! Not as cheap, and don't look as clean but 6 s203' nonetheless.

Looks mint throughout, all I can see is a small scuff/mark on the centre console below the heater controls, nothing major.

Yeah, exterior R.
All the others I've found work out 20k+ before shipping/importing costs.

R is heavy impact which means interior panels not just a wing or two.
We are talking extensive panel beating not just cosmetic. £16k for a heavy impact car, errr no !

Grade 4+ Interior B and Overall B should be your target.
Don't go near an R as it could well of even seen a Jig
Mixed bag but for the costs and distance involved it's not worth the potential loss or disappointment

It would be seriously daft to buy a damaged repaired car from foreign lands, especially one with such a high rating of damage. Yes they have been honest.... but i would imagine that the damage over there would be a lot more severe than over here to be a write off...

Because we Brits have a much lower threshold for write-offs than abroad generally. Too much blaggery in insurance over here to warrant repairs and middle men.
