I've got the Zilco for my Section A not sure which version, but it is a lovely looking harness and really easy to keep clean a worthy investment

Seems to be fairly widely used and well thought of.

Thanks everybody - sounds positive. What would be a fair price for a 2nd hand Mini Shetland single set - virtually unused?

Thanks for that. I managed to buy an almost new Zilco Classic Miniature single set for £150, & a brand new pairs set the same for £500. Think they were good prices compared to the new - & it's lovely quality too.
