I got mine off EBay £97 with remote control and led programmer, the seller isn’t listed anymore but there are quite a few similar on eBay.

Many thanks. Looking for one for the shed. I've noticed that some can use 240v (presume with a built in converter) which I'd prefer.

My current machines all lovingly cared for, gave up on the British Classics sold my last one a couple of years ago, a 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet, just didn’t feel safe riding it anymore.

Just be aware if you run one from a mains supply, that if you're prone to power cuts (my welder used to frequently trip the garage breaker) you can do some serious damage to the heater's circuit board if the power is lost while the heater is operating. It needs to go through a "cool down" cycle to switch it off safely.
I run mine from a 12 volt battery (donated from a Funster's Boxer after their airbag light issue) trickle charged off an old transformer style battery charger.

They start from £105 on ebay, but you have to make sure they come complete with air intake and silencer etc otherwise the starting price becomes expensive.
The cool down period is essential about 5mins from mine. Yesterday it went from 205C to 65c before it finally went dead so a battery supply will save you burning out the control board as shown in previous pictures.
Mine cost me £125 from Amazon but I wanted the ability to return it no questions asked if I needed to.
