Here we have a new variation on that great SWORD cloning company, T in a Circle's HYDROFOIL BOAT - top picture. Recently sold on Ebay by Toy-Cellar it has a brown deck rather than the blue one on the model I own - bottom pic. Looks like it retailed for 8/11 back in 60's UK or is that a reference to something else? 8 shillings and 11 pence - not even 10 shillings or 10 "bob". So not even 50p nowadays. But prices have inflated around 12 times since the mid-Sixties so it's true value is nearer £5. But £5 in 1965 was worth about £65 in todays UK! It sold on Ebay for around £38. God it's confusing! Any more variations of the T Hydrofoil?
