What is the cut front fender comapred to the ds one

Saw it about 10 minutes after it was listed, but didn't fancy a "punt" with no pictures available, (especially a 2 grand punt).
It would be nice to know if someone has indeed got a bargain, as the seller seemed quite clued-up if you read the description?

The early K0's had a front fender (Mudguard to us 'Limeys') which was not 'rolled over' edge at the front and back By late K0 production the front was rolled over but not the back. On the K1 onwards both edges were rolled over. If you look at the 12K GBP K0 on Ebay at the moment you will see what I mean.

They are mega expensive repro 700GBP!!! and even tatty ones on Ebay go for around 150 quid, even in the US.
David Silver sold one of the rear only cut ones recently on Ebay for about 145 GBP I think.
Anyone know why David Silver hiked the K0/K1/early K2 front fender price from 79 to 175 GBP?? I got mine for 79 but the chroming was crap so they swapped it but had to check about 12 to find me a good one!! They picked the faulty one up and redilivered for free though!!
Oh and i forgot 'wrinkle tank'

Yep and I don't think it's worth it. Load of parts are wrong on it (fender/pipes/seat(K2)/Airbox/ etc) - Mine cost 1500 and had the genuine 4 into 4 etc and I thought I had possibly paid over the odds. People should be aware of how much these things cost to restore not only in cost but the hours and hours and hours spent tracking down parts. I would reckon on at least 2-3k to get this looking A1. Nice toolkit though!!!
Now ChrisR's imported 1970 K1 on there (Ebay) is a different matter - if he's selling it, it will be spot on.
