26k for a cat D which means the other will definitely be cat registered, insurers these days want a quick turn around, pay out & sell it on

Is there any real evidence that the clutch can only hold 480nm of torque? Seems to me a bit of a figure plucked out from nowhere.
2 tuners from Germany are over the 500nm and say that the clutch is slipping after the 500nm mark. Both tuners hold 480nm as max for safety, so why would they lie about that?
500nm is a lot for a stock clutch, so nothing really strange about that.
Or hello exclusivity.
The 10th gen Civic is a world car platform and will be sold in the US and Canada, their first Type R. In the same way the new RS is available in most countries.
You've not seen the release of that affecting MK2 RS prices.
The 9th gen is EU, Jap and SA only and only 4,500 units. Prices will level out, they already have lost a fair chunk, but then they'll stabilise.
