I got mine (before selling it again for the same price) for £500 second hand.

I have the bare fibreglass pieces for sale if you're interested.

I got one for about £450 but needed a respray. I might have my original one for sale soon - its little bit warped at the front, but could be fixed up or will be fine for a non-show quality van.

Well if its a genuine brand new one then I guess the price will reflect it - though I dont remember them being that white and shiny when new originally. I might be wrong in my old age but I seem to remember they were more eggshell than shiny and more cream than bright white.

Second hand ones seem to go for around 500 if they are in nice condition but its normal to need to replace the canvas. The main thing when buying one is to make sure you also get all the fittings and bars/clips/bunks etc. If anythings missing the price should be lowered accordingly.

Damage is simple to repair being fiberglass and a good coat of paint will cheer up the saddest ones. Touching in and matching the original finish is IMO impossible so always reckon on doing the whole thing.
