    Yep, cool story. I’ve never seen anyone on this forum own one so rare indeed.

    Very cool! Makes you wonder how many others are out there waiting to be rediscovered.

    It makes a mockery of the perceived lack of water resistance too. Most people wouldn’t wash the dishes in their Speedy and this bloke has been sailing in his for years!

    I didn’t read the sun article as I saw the same story in an ever so slightly more reputable rag (might have been the mirror)

    On that one it suggested the ultraman HK was only produced 50 times. Not sure how much research they did on that.

    it sold for 31k now.

    I wonder if he’s missed a trick not using Sotherby or Bonhams. I recall the original estimate on AR being 20-30ish and thats proved to be a little conservative.

    With the marketing power of either auction house I think this could have achieved more.
