So who's the one who wanted it that much  Shocked  Grin http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=300923787875 I would think new ones could be made for less than ?121 but I applaud and congratulate the one who was willing to pay the price for originality; something I never was a stickler for  Undecided   Grin

Wow - It was ?36 when I looked this morning!

It was a rare opportunity but that's way too much in my opinion. Imagine if it had been a pair!  Shocked

Isn't it remarkable that no-one posted the link before now - Tactical bidding at play I suppose!!  Grin

I bid on it but not that much. I had one of these and it was iin the boot when the car was being welded and the bloke welding it said the car caught alight so he used it to put the fire out !  gutted.
I haven't seen one since until this one came up and that was 22 years ago.
Still if you want these things I suppose you have to pay for them although I wonder if you had the dimensions how much someone could make it for today ?

Problem with that business venture is there are only 24 sports left in UK and not many more in Ireland so you wouldn't be able to retire on it  Grin
