the rivets look like they have all popped on the Mk2 the Mk1 looks like it could be a good project but not worth 15k in its current condition. i thought the Mk1 was the one from Canada that had been on ebay etc etc it has the same square home made brackety thing on the front towing eye.

if he is selling them for a profit and has people to pay the money i think i may retire and spend all my time and money on importing carriers etc etc...

Crazy money, they are only worth around £30k when in mint restored condition, so from the get go you have only got £15k to play with, if you are doing the work yourself then that is LOTS of money but if a company is restoring it for you, you would be in the red rather quickly I'd imagine. If it is RR services selling them then that asking price is par for the course
