This is a particularly interesting link:

I reckon the Norwegian one is good value at £5800 even if it has been pretty comprehensively butchered.

The rear lights are brand new, never been on a vehicle.
(still misses the bulb sockets)
Original they were mounted on the Morris Oxford V.
Also the front signal lights are brand new.

Cargo-ship from Brevik to Newcastle is the easyest way !!

Didn't the "Ebay BMC bus" NWL 885H went to Norway in 2011? and i recall the final price of that one was less then the asking price of this one and it still was in more or less "original condition" i.e. still had the original running gear.
Strange world we live in ;)
