Shorrock Badge and Photos on eBay

Another badge came up on eBay this week. Didn't quite go for as much as the one back in March for £245, but £207.11 is a lot in anyone's money...

Shorrock Supercharged Badge

I'd been following this one on eBay for past week. It sat at around £50 for most of that time, and as usual with eBay most of the activity was in the closing minutes.

With an hour and a half to go the price was up to £70, then £85.

With forty five seconds to go it jumped to £202, then three more bids in the last 15 seconds £221, £240, with a closing bid of £245 clinching it.

Moral of the story - if you ever see one of these at a car boot or autojumble going cheap, buy it!
