I agree to a certain degree.  the prices are slightley higher in England.
 The reason is that a right hand drive is the correct configuration of
any LBC and is valued higher.  Two egual LBC's one Right hand and one
Left hand drive,  the right hand drive would be pricier. $14,000 is a
starting point for a condition 1 car (I'm assumong that's what the figure
represents), and I think that's low (those of you have restored LBCs
know). However, $8,000 where once bought a 2 or 2+ car, now buys a 2-/3+
car.  I haven't a clue what a trailer queen is...the standard worldwide
numbering system provides a closer to absolute form of comparison, so
that evryone can understand.

In a few words, the prices have gone up.
