I got 2 a few weeks ago on ebay for 50 sterling each.need repainting.i never see the irish stuff come up at all.

Nice find, @Darren.d.

They usually go around the €100 mark but I have also picked up a handful of UK variants over the past few months, all from eBay.

I'm sure we'll see IRM run them one day - @BosKonay wouldn't have sold his IE ones otherwise!

I was lucky my other half was home visiting family in the uk so have an address to have stuff posted to .not getting stung for vat and an posts fees.

You'll have paid 20% HMRC VAT, just not 23% Irish VAT.

Rails take off the U.K. vat for new stuff. All you pay is the Irish vat and the An Post fee. Story is they are going to do that with all of their stuff.

ELLIS CLARK deduct UK vat on anything you buy from them.

So if I was to order IRM stuff from the AS website in the UK it would be delivered duty paid to me in Germany?
