In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
Not too surprised, as it has been said, there are people with that sort of money to spend !
Another example around ten years back, I was in a guitar shop on the south coast of England in the process of buying a Martin acoustic when on admiring a genuine 1957 Fender Stratocaster (two tone like Buddy's) the shop proprietor took it off the wall and placed it in my mits... "Here have a play, be my guest" !
Price was £53K !
He also had a '62' at £34k and a '68' at £15k !
Upon enquiring as to the pricing of these guitars, I got the self same reply....... "Oh my Clients are very wealthy people who think nothing of driving down here and spending that sort of money on rare guitars" !
Bought the Martin after a 3 hour stay, left and drove back home musing on his comment !

“An airgun or two”………
Incredible flame-type grain on that Whiscombe! Is the other side of the butt as good?
My best stock is this Diana and it's quite different one one side and the other - not plain, just different.
