Saw this on instagram this morning! Liking the shape and the retro stickers. Sorry the pic isn't great though.

Like this old shape. In the 90's when I was just a whee lad loads of the blokes at our club had these and V6's.
Any idea if these will be UK made?
-
I don't know, it would be nice if they were. Price wise i think your looking at 450 for the le on this. Which for that kind of money you want it UK made!
-
Love the look of this actually, be interesting to see which retailers stock it!
-
Thanks for the post!
Good to see Slazenger are going back to the more original V12 shape. I'm nto really a fan of the new sticker on the blade but i'll definitely be buying one.........even though I already have 3 vintage V12's and two retro versions = 5 !!!!
-
Yes the le and 5 stars are made in UK. by who I don't know.

That new shape with those old stickers would have hit the sweet spot for me
-
In fact wasn't the V purple on the v12 of that style of stickers era

Top work! Bd

Oh sh*t!!!! I've wanted this to happen for so long, I think I might have to buy one of these - although I'd like to find a stockist somewhere where I can swing one around.
Do we know if any stockists down South will be doing them?
-
I wish they'd make a proper update V500, but this is intriguing
-
About flippin time. . . . brings back the Alan Lamb / Tendulkar memories.

I would think @Uzi Sports may well do so.

We still haven't decided if we will stock slazenger range as it didn't sell well. If we do we will only stock the bats made in UK. V12 LE and V12 Ultimate are UK made bats

The purple ones came later. The original V12:

And then they went purple:

And finally dark blue, but I couldn't find a picture of that.

I'm a Slazenger-tragic from way back. These look amazing. I'm buying one.
-
The white one on the left, was polyarmoured, V12 Club I used to have, was a bat and a half. At that time I assume Eric Loxton would've been making them.
-
I spent last night telling myself I don't need one, I can't justify one, it's a waste of money and it won't make my woeful batting any better.
It's odds on I shall have purchased one before the end of the month.
-
Love those v800 as well, with the history slazenger have its about time they used it. The shapes they used to have is bang on trend in the cricket market. I think they look so good and you might as well buy one fattuscattus before I do!!!
-
@tim2000s ahh.. I'd missed out a generation . I had one of the original versions. Was a low end model, but an absolute gun! In my head I have Machine using the purple version
-
Hmm... Autocorrect from Sachin to Machine. Probably quite apt
-
I'm fairly sure that I'll be in there for one.
-

Who is making the Uk ones ? Is it still DF?
-
Played against a veteran using a V800 exactly like that this season...

Not 100% certain but I believe this was one of the earlier V12 bat/sticker combinations released sometime around 1982-83? Then they changed the sticking again, only slightly, around 1987 of which the ad showing Allan Lamb shows.
