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

In fact wasn't the V purple on the v12 of that style of stickers era

The purple ones came later. The original V12:



Later stickers:



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

[Johnny]

Hmm... Autocorrect from Sachin to Machine. Probably quite apt

[tim2000s]

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.
