Prince Charles’ 1979 Range Rover Classic up for sale

Posted on | 1 Comment

Land1

For those who though we couldn't top the Queen Mother mini bus, well, we just might have with a 1979 Range Rover Classic, originally owned by Prince Charles in his bachelor days.

According to the seller, this is a 'lovely and now sought after' early model, but just as significantly, it was supplied new to the Royal Mews in Buckingham Palace for the exclusive use of HRH Prince Charles. Indeed, he got it for his 21st birthday. Not just any old early model either, some unique features (at the time) were also added.

Stripecurve

With many mid-sixties inspired pieces today leaning on a heavily structured, sharp look, there's often little choice for more relaxed occasions. That's where pieces like this Stripe Curved Hem Dress from Warehouse step in, with a laid back and wearable style.

The use of a jersey cotton blend fabric means this dress is comfortable, but that doesn't mean it compromises on the look. A bold wide striped print, in vibrant red and white, has an easy sixties inspired look, while the mini hemline ensures femininity.

Get it now from Warehouse for £40.

Very much back to basics with the original black and white colour scheme, gold detailing and branding, a premium suede upper, white contrast sole and white laces.

No rarity value, but the upside of that is a £49 price tag.

Posted on | Leave a comment

Anvia

Not one quirky piece of 1960s lighting, you get four if you successfully bid on these Anvia table and wall lamps.

Full of early-to-mid 1960s charm, the metal lamps, two wall and two table/desk, were apparently originally sold as a set 'back in the day' and this set, amazingly, remains intact.

In fact, according to the seller, the lamps are in 'near perfect' condition, with no dents or rusting. See the listing for more detailed shots, with the price at just 1 pence now, although there's still plenty of time to go.
