Rhodesia Was Super! limited edition serigraph by Derek Yaniger

Rhodesia

Apparently, 'Rhodesia is Super' was a travel slogan for holidays to the country (which is obviously now Zimbabwe) back in the 1970s. It's also the inspiration for this Rhodesia Was Super! limited edition serigraph by Derek Yaniger.

It's a four colour silk screened serigraph, printed on heavyweight archival paper and measuring 17 x 24 inches. But above all, it features those great, vintage-style cartoon images.

The print sells for £65, with part of the profits going to the Zimbabwe Agricultural Welfare Trust.

eBay watch: 1988 Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition

Quant

We have featured one of these in the past, but as they come up so infrequently – and we think they're a collectible of tomorrow – we're flagging up another Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition.

This one dates from 1988, one of around 2,000 Mary Quant-designed Minis made at the time. But we suspect a good number have been scrapped since then. The ones that survive don't cost a fortune right now, but in time, they just might rise up in price.

The seller doesn't give lots away, but it looks like the outer Quant detail and that distinctive striped upholstery are all intact. Indeed, it's described as being in 'excellent condition throughout' with 'no rust, dents or scabs' you'll be pleased to know. Mileage isn't mentioned, drop them a line about that. Right now it's up for £1,800.

Update: Amazingly, another one has just gone up too, it's a bit cheaper as well. See details of that one here.
