Looks zackly like a 'mercan one to me. but with talgo-type couplers in instead of knuckles.
And a few fancy euro speak designations on it instead of the usual English stuff…
and, of course, the price…

I don’t know what the Aristo intermodal car looks like, but the ones I’ve seen pictures of are essentially a skeleton flat that the container sits on. To my knowledge there is no place in England, Europe or Australia that runs them as double stacks as we do.
For those of us lucky enough to be able to get Class 66’s here in the US, we could substitute Charlie Ro’s container cars and run them as single stacks.

Not sure what part of the last century you live in, Sir, but last time I looked [two minutes ago], £160 was worth $314.99.

See what happens when you rely on google for a $ exchange site,
ps i like mine better - that’s not worth $315
I can remember when a Pound Sterling was worth $4.35 USD. Ouch.

BTW the year is 1972, yours truly skiing with a bunch of Swiss bank employees (the Swiss snow wasn’t all that good!) and getting ribbed about the state of the Can$.
Some comedian: “You’ll see next time you come you get 1 Franc and an apple for your dollar.”
Me: “Wouldn’t surprise me, it’s almost two Francs for an apple right now.”
Silence!
That was the rate in the 60’s, until the British gummint devalued the Pound Sterling by half.
I do remember the 60’s, I’d just rather forget them, is all.
