As much as someone is willing to pay? Sorry, can't
help with the prices across the pond...

Should be quite an easy job. If it is a post April
1967 Mk3 then it should have seat belt anchorage
points on the tops of the rear wheel arches in the
rear of the cockpit. Check under the rear wheel arch
for the strengthener, as the vinyl may cover the hole
if never used. If not, the mounting washer and nut can
be retro fitted to allow a three point static belt, or
you could go for later style inertia reel belts if you
put in the extra mounting at the base of the rear
wheel arch.
