Dropped in at a local boot sale yesterday. Got another Rexon grinder for £25 and a Bosch jigsaw for a tenner.

Thanks for the info, I was quite happy to to see the pipe vice adapter on the side of it, I am walking back up by where i found it later i'll have a nother look aboutIn reference to Yellow Ardvarks post, I have the same vice, picked it up couple of weeks ago for not very much money. Sadly it doesn't have the swivel base but other wise in good shape. It's a record auto mechanics vice. The two holes in the side are for holding valve stems. There should also be an adaptor for holding a cylinder head (never seen one of those). Oh and the vice is cast steel, not your usual cast iron. Favtory supplied colour was red. Yours looks to be in good nick !!!
I seriously believe I may not be here today if not for my fluff ball, he pulled me out of a very dark place.Cant get better than a good dog, no I dont mean that in a weird way, genuinly think life would be poorer without our four legged family.
I felt bad when I left because the guy was quite oblivious to its rarity.
Did you turn up looking like this?

But to say I’m chuffed is an understatement.
Nice score !
I don't think it's so much about rarity though, just that they are the flavour of our times; so the prices have become ridiculous.
