well at least I Googled (verb) the name and it is TRUE! There was a company in England called Elliot Brothers who built about 250 of these in the late 1950s. The size is amazing but the price even better £583 thousand as of 2015 - which converts, according to Google again, to
$881,670.90 US Dollars!
$881,670.90 US Dollars!
