Currently the supply/demand curve for cars in the UK is biased more towards sellers than the US, thus a price difference big enough to make it worth the hassle of importing. If cars keep coming over eventually the selling price will fall until importing is no longer attractive, but it's hard to say when that will be. If the fraction of the population in the UK that would like to own a DMC-12 is similar to the faction in the US, then the theoretical demand might be for a full 20% of the available stock. Of course, there is demand from plenty of other countries as well...
