Ikea Deltorf's are popular, all glass with the space for lots of shelves.

I got free reign in the sitting room, she got it in the kitchen. Rest of the house we compromised on. Well... I got a TV in the bedroom.

Thanks guys, been collecting for many years now.
I remember when Mk1 & MK2 Escorts were £20 each, now £60 upwards.
Last valuation was eye opening to say the least
