Re: rm1312

RMs for sale in Europe fetch silly money! One of my clients paid euro60k for an RT last year and that looked nice as a bar conversion but was a right dog that now needs a new engine; he recently bought a Cummins RML for about euro20k but has just sold it on; been offered a Leyland RM for euro15k but the engine has just blown up; and paid over euro40k for the RM that's recently blown 2 engines in a month...
