Was priced at £1500+, but this ebay seller offers it for £990 if you watch it. Once you wear it you probably halve the value, but still. It's got everything you need.

He's also got black ones with an auction price of £870 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/185221654353?mkevt=1&mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&media=GMAIL&sojTags=media%3Dmedia

It's so lush...what if you got the name blacked out by a customiser chappy? Wouldn't cost too much. Then you'd have a keeper.
