In the 1999 catalogue listed by Mark is a rod holdall designed by Steve and sold through his shop. It was a fantastic bit of kit & was a modern take on the old Efgeeco one. For one thing it is longer at 5' 6", ensuring that your prized Mk4's are fully protected.
I have a spare one of those that I don't think has seen the bank so is 'as new'. If anyone is prepared to pay the list price of 1999 then they can prise it away from me. PM me if you are interested.

Steve,
If your wife comes up trumps then I will take it to our mutual friend!
70 eh, you are so much older me then? I don't make that milestone until next April.
