eBay watch: 1970s Starsky and Hutch-style Ford Gran Torino car

Torino

Here's something that's guaranteed to make men (and women) of a certain age feel nostalgic for their youth, a 1974 Ford Gran Torino car, which is available to buy via eBay.

Of course, it's the car made famous by Starsky and Hutch, with this particular model coming complete with the paint job from the TV show, not to mention a flashing red light. It's a childhood dream come true.

In terms of detail, it's had three owners since being imported from the US, with 70,200 miles on the clock. It's described as being in 'superb condition', with plenty of upgrading and maintenance over the years. Not cheap though – £12,995 on a 'buy it now' or you can make an offer. More images and details on the site.

Bedazzled limited edition poster by Piper Gates Design

Bed1

If you loved The Prisoner by Piper Gates Design recently, chances are you'll also love this latest limited edition poster by the designer, a new take on Bedazzled.

As you might have guessed, this is a tribute to the original Bedazzled, not the nightmare remake. Which means it does, of course, feature one of its stars – the legend that is Peter Cook. Like the recent Prisoner poster, it also uses the format of 1960s Penguin paperback reference books, complete with an old 3'6 price tag on the top.

Just 30 copies of this have been produced, sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on 194 gram paper, all signed by the artist. If you want one, you can grab one for £24.99. See over the page for an image of one framed up.
