That price for a Lima made loco?    .  .  . and with a buffer missing.  Feel like using the 'make an offer' facility to offer €10 for it as a themed paper weight.

In fairness I think the Lima model of the IE version captured the orange livery better than the more recent MM version of the same livery. Definitely not worth that price though.

Yes the upper body colour wasn't bad at all, but the Lima chassis under frames and bogies were pretty poor compared to the MM variants and scale.  I wonder why MM did their own 201s given they had already produced the Lima variants.  An A class might have sold better than a second bite at the 201 cherry.
