Today I got myself an HJC RPHA10 Ancel, black/white/titanium. It was on show stock (so would have been destined for the BMF) because it had a cracked chin vent, and also is now obsolete, having been replaced by the RPHA10 Plus (but is a new, unused helmet, otherwise in perfect condition). The only differences are in the vents and the visor. So I replaced the chin vent (involves removing comfort liner and chin EPS, undo 3 screws and off comes the vent). I also replaced the old style visors with those from the 10 Plus, as they have an improved, single position pinlock insert and mount (clear and dark). I think the old RRP was about £330, paid £130 for this one 
It's an even better fit than my IS-17, being the best crown fit I've ever had in any helmet, very snug but comfortable. The IS will be put away as a spare.
Actually, I didn't take note of the manufacturing date on the helmet while I had the liner out, but did examine the EPS which is all in perfect condition. Quite happy to use this helmet as a newly bought one.
