I think I am with Guillaume on this one. If I take the UK price, remove the VAT (UK purchase tax) and convert the price into US Dollars, I get $26,521. OK - The UK pound is having a bad day due to Brexit jitters, the UK is nearer to France, this does not take into account any bank charges (which are small) or US import tariffs, but it is almost half the US price quoted by the OP. $49,000 looks way to high, even taking all other factors into account.
If I was in the US and could not negotiate a better price, I think I would just find one second hand somewhere else in the world and do a personal import. This would be a bit of hassle, but could easily save over $30k, so it would be worth the hassle.
