The trim phone - cool retro design from 1970s

Isn't this phone cool? Our sister site WhereDidYouBuyThat.com just received stock and they look fab!

A little bit of history about the Trim Phone - a 1970s Design Classic
Launched by the GPO in 1065 as a fashionable alternative to its regular models, it was in the 1970s that the Trimphome became commonplace. TRIM stands for Tone Ringer Illuminated Model: it was the first phone to ring using a modern electronic warbler rather than the traditional bell mechanism and on the earlier models the dial glowed in the dark. By 1980 there were 1.6 million in use throughout the UK. This replica version has all the style and features of the 1970s original but with modern push button.
Available in 6 colours: green, pink, purple, white, red and turquoise!

To think you will be selling these on my old website and I had one when they first came out in the 1960s. I now feel ancient :(
