Just came across some old pics that might be of interest to some on here;
In 2010 I gave a mate a hand with a house clearance in New Cross. House owner was a hoarder as you see in those doco's, the only way through rooms was a narrow path through piled up boxes of assorted stuff. House was huge, think three floors plus a rat infested basement, and totally overground rear garden. I forget what the job was, but I think it was basically waste removal, taking out stuff that was too far gone to be of any use.
I noticed an immaculate early Brompton, and took these pics because I was so amazed. Completely unused, still had the catalogue hanging from the (plastic) Brooks saddle. I recall the frame number was something like 252(!) so I contacted Brompton in the week after to see if they would be interested in approaching the owner for their archives. Reply was that they would sell the owner a new model for trade price in return for it (which unfortunately wasn't an option).
Still wonder what happened to it to this day
