Amiga 1500

Serial: xxx

The Amiga 1500 was a variation of the Amiga 2000 that was only available in the U.K. This system came with two internal floppy disk drives whereas the A2000 came with just one.
Nevertheless, it was a true Amiga 2000. The “A1500” badge was simply a sticker attached over the original A2000 badge.
This unit is in stock condition from 1st hand owner and very hard to find.
