£1.73 (plus postage from china)
I suppose they think if you have £500k to spend on a car you can afford to spend 10k on a pair of glasses :S

by looking at do you mean pressing your nose up against the window or going in and asking for further information? I think the closest I have been the a £2m car is walking past the Ferrari stand at last years NEC

They don't look too dissimilar to the pair I got from M&S not so long ago, far more reasonable, and do exactly the same job!

If you have a fiddle with the online configuration thing for a focus you can get it up to £33,000. This is why I buy 2nd hand cars.
