I have seen these for sale in the UK for £519. That said I know a recent group buy on Scoobynet had the unit selling for £330 and concealed unit for £40. So if you were to buy this setup new, it would cost you £370.
My one is the newer 2001 model (bought mid-2001) reviewed in the link below. I'm asking £250 for the whole package!

You only need the main unit as that does all the 'work'.
The consealed unit allows all the display and warning happen in a remote place. When the remote display is plugged in, it 'kills' the display on the main unit, so at night the car behind wouldn't see any red lights, as the only thing that would light up is the remote display!
I installed the main unit above the rear view mirror, so it was hardly noticeable from outside the car (and didn't light up when in use, as the remote unit was plugged in). The location of my remote unit is shown in the photo below.
I hope this makes sense!

I'm looking for the bargain price of £250 (better than buying a new Snooper!! ) for the whole package and I forgot to mention that it is set up correctly for use in the UK.

Wonder if this is the first generation version or the latest one ?? also how old it is ??
great price also !! someones going to get a bargain anyway !!! probably is still the best detector on the market and as you say much better than some " snooper " makes, who in some motoring press tests did not even register a gatso camera alert until the car had actually past the site !!!
cheers,
good-luck,
john...

It's the latest generation, as it is the thinner 2001 model. The detector is about 1.5-2 years old.
I'm looking at selling my car and making do without for a bit
, so it seems pointless to leave it gathering dust!
