eBay watch: 1970s space age Guzzini table lamp

Posted on | 1 Comment

Guzzini

This is a stunning design, as well as a rare one – so this original Guzzini table lamp is well worth the money.

Dating back to the 1970s and perfect for that 'Space 1999' look, this particular lamp was inherited by the seller and is described as being in 'full working order' and 'superb condition' for both chrome and shade. There's also the original double switch attached and a couple of brand new light bulbs for it.

Some great close-up shots on the listing page, with a current price of £87 right now.

eBay watch: Nissan Figaro retro-styled car

Posted on | Leave a comment

Figaro

Ok, this has come about because of a train of thought. Back in 2006, we did a piece on Nissan's retro car range, something I was reminded of when I spotted the bizarre Nissan S-Cargo on eBay. But this isn't flagging that vehicle up, it's flagging up the altogether more common, but equally eye-catching Nissan Figaro.

We're flagging up one example on eBay, but right now there are between 70 and 80 examples of the limited edition retro-styled sports car on eBay – so if you're reading this post a bit late, keep checking as they are always plentiful and in all the colours. Something to suit all budgets if you like.

eBay watch: Large 1960s marble-based Golamar Italian floor lamp

Posted on | 1 Comment

Lamp

Ignore the desk and chair, they're only there to show the scale of the headline act – this large Golamar marble-based floor lamp.

Made in Italy in the 1960s, this is a huge thing – 182cm high, which over 6ft tall. All of that is stove on a weighted marble base, finished off with a plastic shade, a long lead and an on/off switched on the cable. if you have space to fill, this will certainly fill it.

According to the seller, condition is 'good', with no cracks or damage. Not a bad price right now, £50, but with some time still to go.

eBay watch: 1960s space age round television

Posted on | 3 Comments

Round

I'm not sure if this is a variation of the Keracolor Sphere, so let's just say this is a 1960s space age round television. It's also on eBay right now.

Does it work? Probably not, not least because of the advent of the digital era. The seller bought it for display purposes and it has been in storage, with no guarantee of it being functional. Note that, but note also that you can probably replace the actual TV in the shell, which has apparently already been done for this unit.

That shell is in white fibreglass, with a tulip-style base. Some minor damage, but not a lot. So a striking design piece or a project. It's currently on eBay at £100. Lots more images on the seller's page.

eBay watch: 1972 Triumph GT6 sports car

Posted on | Leave a comment

Gt6

A real gem from Triumph's past, with this Triumph GT6 sports car available on eBay right now.

It's a fine example too. Dating from 1972, it's really been looked after, tax and MOT in place and with plenty of servicing and upgrades over the years, right down to fresh oil and some anti-freeze recently added. See the selling page for a full breakdown.

There's 94,000 on the clock, interior is described as 'good'  and it's a real head-turner, that's for sure. Only thing worth mentioning on the downside is that the care has been off the road for over 15 years, but is 'ready to use' now, according to the seller. If you want it, you'll need to beat the current top bid of £2,350.

eBay watch: Pashley Princess bicycle

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pashley

This retails for around £550 when sold new, so right now, this Pashley Princess bicycle is a potential bargain.

It's a decent example of this vintage-styled gem too, not perfect, but perfectly serviceable. It's a three-speed in Regency Green with a 20-inch frame size, hub brakes, ding dong bell, Brooks Saddle and recent Michelin World Tour Amber Wall Tyres.

On the downside, the frame is scratched in quite a few places and the outer black plastic covers on the various cables are damaged. Aside from that, it's just fine. Right now, it's at £69.
