Managed to score my wife a M6R-X (titanium) for £500. Very good condition, hardly used with all paperwork.

Think this is the best bargain I've had!

I wonder what year is is.

The Brompton logo in that style on the cross bar hasn't been used for a long time.

My guess is 2004 or 2005.

I assumed it was quite recent considering it looks new, but i'm not up on the differences in years of Bromptons.
What would that spec cost new, must be getting on for £2K now ?

Yes, about £1,900 give or take.

It being a Brompton it will be more or less the same as new.

The last worthwhile upgrade was improved brakes and levers, which the OP's bike might have.

That decal was being used at least as late as 2010. Might even have been new for that year. The steel ones (well, they're all steel in the main frame) had a different and IMO nicer logo.

I'd say it's post-2010 if it has a steel seatpost. Ti Bromptons used to have a Ti seatpost but no longer. It was the best bang for buck weight-saver, too.
