Stumbled on this whilst browsing ebay. Am I missing something? :shock: :? What's artistic about it? Apart from the front it looks bog standard to me.

A bit contradictory:

"New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item."

"Having been a display piece this has unfortunately picked up some marks along the way ........these could be easily repaired but we would rather the new owner make that decision - there are one or two age related marks, very minor corrosion to one passenger foot peg and the very edge of the wheel rims are the main points".
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

This is contradictory as well
This was created in 2008 and sold at an art auction, it has been a display piece ever since, it has never been road registered and has never been ridden, however does have all the paperwork to register if required.

9km on the clocks from new, everything on the bike is original.

Perfectly divine darlings.. One careful owner-an arts council poet from Ealing.. :kiss:
I guess we've just got no appreciation of art. :)

Well, that's a bargain compared to this....

Around £250k for the oldest Vespa in existence!
And up here, last week someone paid £23k for the rusty shell of an early VW (split screen) Microbus!

Maybe they missed off the decimal point..............

Mind you, it is open to offers. Might be worth a punt at around £1000?
