I don't see where anybody could be getting the idea that Andy wants this sent 'duty free' or that he is being anything less than honest. These things don't cost a lot used and the dollar is two to a pound, so any duty to be paid on a second-hand bra this side of the pond would be minimal.
No one in the UK uses those bra things, so they don't exist second-hand over here. Most of us are giving him a hard time about wanting one in the first place (the words 'gimp mask for your car' have been used), but as he has just has a repair job costing $12,000 done on the front of his beloved 911, he is obsessing about his factory-fresh paint and is still keen to get one. No point buying a new one, as it's only going to be used on maybe one long road trip a year, so he is after a used one in good condition. If used doesn't materialise, maybe he'll spring for new from Wayne. It all sounds fair enough to me.
Sorry to hear you are giving up your car Paul.
