a paid £210 for mine ( from rutherfords ) 2 year before mk2 came out
and believe some shops had a sale on mk 1s when the mk2s came out, did hear some lads got the last ones from certain shops for around £150, dunno if thats true though

Seller has ended early. Must have had a decent offer.

 

[COD BOY]

if you ask at greys they will make you a new MK1 but
it will cost you aprox £200 fully made up.

They do have lots of butt's for the 13 and 14ft one's
and then they will roll a new tip to fit and billed it up
to the same standard as the first one's.

I had this done last year for a present for my dad's
65th birthday and what a rod it is too.
