    4 used Whiscombes in one shop, pretty much unheard of!

    The 2k one is left handed too which is unusual, not many left handed Whiscombes were made.

    Mainly overpriced .....I bought a rough fwb124 that had been serviced by their smith before buying lucky I bought it as a project as the spring had been just cut and not even finished. So if you do go looking be wary that's all I'm going to say

    Are they actually worth the hyped up price.

    I've never seen one let alone held or shot one

    Would like to know opinions of those who actually have

    Things are only worth what someone else is willing to pay....never the actual investment put in...that said if something can't be replaced/repeated it has a rarity value.I have paid over the odds to be the owner of rare stuff, but only to the value I place on it...
    Are Whiscombes worth the money asked...well engineered, beautiful finish and extremely capable of doing what it says on the tin....+RARE...
    If you have the money and the desire then YES, if it's just to do a job then NO....
    In simple terms do you buy a Ford or a Buggatti, both will get you from A to B...you could pimp your Ford but it's always a Ford!
