Great post. I hate to think what one of those sells for. ...edit: Wiki suggests around 60,000 pounds ($AU 160,000) with a 2-3 year wait...:C
Timeless craftsmanship.

Probably!?! :oo: Probably more than a top line BMW! That is an amazing video, thanks for posting the link Schtoo. :2tsup: It's wonderful to know that craftspeople are still trained to do that sort of work by hand.
