Very few Mk1's over in Deutsch Land either. They pop up on Ebay about twice a year, usually with no MOT and in a terrible state ...

There are some in the netherlands, and thats not that far from deutschland, maybe an option?

not many mk1 in the UK. I think the VOC counts 6 people with one in the club!

The mk 1 was only built for 4 years in UK spec I think and early ones had poor rust proofing so havent survived

Keep your eyes peeled for me Shimon - I'm on the looking for one! I've seen probably 2-3 in my (former) local yard in Derby, two of which were decently tidy 343s which would have been just perfect. Damn...

cheers
