I'm tempted as it's probably the lowest price I'll ever see for a Herse, but I don't like that it's a repaint.
Very disappointing that a shop thinks this is the way to go on this, they know what they have and chose to crap out on it, lazy, greedy, irresponsible and sad IMO.

Still very cool and were it my size, I would be having a very heated discussion with them.
