Get The Perfect Valentines Day Gift With This Beautiful Olivetti Valentine!
This fabulous looking portable was manufactured by the famous Italian company Olivetti in 1969 and is in superb original condition. Designed by Italian Ettore Sottsass and Briton Perry King, the model was launched in 1969 and is probably the most famous of Olivetti's typewriters. At the end of the sixties the 'Valentine' arrived to bring excitement to the mundane look of office equipment. Over the years due to it's iconic pop art design, it has been exhibited in museums across the world and has become a very sought after typewriter. Famous owners of this model in the past have been David Bowie, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. This machine has been fully serviced in our workshop with a new ribbon fitted and writes excellently with a nice standard elite typeface giving you 12 characters to the inch. It is supplied with a copy of user instructions, and the carry cover designed to double up as a waste paper bin when using the typewriter!
Replacement ribbons for this machine are available to order on our website. (Group 4 )
