eBay watch: 1968 Porsche 912 Classic – at just 99 pence

Porsche

Ok, it's unlikely to stay at that price for long, but it's nice to see a low starting price for a very cool car on eBay – this 1968 Porsche 912 Classic.

An incredibly stylish coupe, it's not perfect and has been stood in dry storage for a few years. But if you are willing to invest a bit of time, effort and money in this, it will really pay off. According to the seller, it will need some recommissioning, although it runs when parked and has no bodywork issues.

Lots of images on the site if you need a closer look and as we said, just 99 pence right now.

eBay watch: 1970s Artifort ‘Hello There’ chair by Jeremy Harvey

Hello

A wonderful design that's perfect for the summer weather – this 1970s Artifort 'Hello There' chair by Jeremy Harvey.

It was designed in 1978 by Harvey and reissued back in 2011, although this one is said to be from the late 70s, rather than the reissue, which probably makes it all the more valuable.

This one is also in yellow and is said to be in 'remarkable condition for its age', with 'only two small chips' that are 'only noticable on very close inspection'. Garden chairs don't get much cooler – and this one currently comes with a price of £99.
