Interesting spot.
So yes, it was originally sold/titled in Mobile, Alabama. Then it was subsequently titled in Long Beach, Mississippi; Biloxi, Mississippi; then Pensacola, Florida prior to being imported to the UK in 2018, presumably as a military import, given the Suffolk-reg. It's rare for these military imports to be then sold onto UK civilians, as they generally have to pay import duty (US military are not required to pay duties on their cars, as they get them shipped tax-free).

Wow, thank you, interesting history! Must have been difficult for the owner to not buy a 'unique car with temperatures in Fahrenheit'
