Gold Dalek for sale at the Burford Garden Company in Oxfordshire - £3,750:00

"A must for any Doctor Who fan, here is a full-sized, fully functioning gold Dalek. Currently employed guarding our weedkillers, this classic TV baddie can still produce a frisson of fear and a strong urge to hide behind the sofa!

This professionally built model, constructed in sections around a three-wheeled powered scooter, can be operated either from inside via control arms, with the operator sitting on the seat, or independently via remote control.

The exterminator arm contains a pressurised air canister and moves in all directions, as do the eyestalk and the famous 'plunger' arm; the dome top, which is removable for access, can be rotated. It also features a voice changing module and microphone."
