I was in Straton Cycles (Wandsworth) last week, buying a saddle post of a rare diameter (and it's where I found it after looking in many shops around), and they have one of their customer's brompton for sale, an immaculate red Brompton (not the one that has been stolen afer the tweed run just in case you are wondering...). They were supposed to give me a call to confirm the price but they did not so I just called them and it's £400 as it is, £450 with a front shopper bag and frame and £475 with new Schwable tyres.
It is a very old Brompton (maybe from 1991, by the look of the sturmey archer 3 speed hub at the back) but it had very little use and is in really amazing condition. It almost looks like one of the new bike they sell. M type (the straight bars did not exist I believe at the time) 3 speed as mentionned above, the shorter wheel base, as pre-2002 / 2003. Very traditional brompton colour, red with black forks and rear folding base.
A really beautiful thing, and vintage / NOS style... Brompton lovers should be tempted.
I don't follow prices on ebay really for bromptons, but I think that, if not a bargain it is a decent price, and some money (I don't know how much of the 400) is going to a charity. But call Straton for more details I don't want to badly repeat what they told me, in case I got is wrong.
