IDK here in Denmark it's kr149.995,- DKK including 25% VAT.
That's only £17.154,- GBP, so more than £3000,- cheaper!

Dolphin Surf is the European version of Seagull.
Despite the link you post has it starting at £18.650,- GBP, that's still more expensive than in EU apparently.
Maybe it's more expensive because instead of having the steering wheel to drive in the right side, UK has it to drive in the wrong side?
Those are fighting words
Just kidding. 😋
But not many countries drive on the left. And I don't think these are sold in Thailand and Japan, so basically this car made for left side driving is probably only for UK.
BYD is getting big in Australia, which drives on the left. They don't sell the Seagull here though.
