There is! It's in Ripon Police Museum but I don't know where it originated.

Hi,

I actually checked about Ripon box a while ago, last year I think. I sent an email to the curator and he told me it is infact an exact replica of the Scarborough box. It's not quite full scale - he did tell me the scale but I can't remember what it was.

Ah, thanks for the illumination! I wonder why they chose to replicate the Scarborough box.

Yup - number of posts - I don't think I'll catch you up, but I'm at 99 as I write. Soon to be joining that exclusive Brachaki club...  ;D

This, for anyone who hasn't already seen it, is the Coventry police box which was spotted on e-bay by Whitestar1969.

I'm travelling down to see it tomorrow (Saturday) in it's present home so I can asses how I'll bring it to it's new home here in Sheffield ;D

I'm glad you got it!
I actually emailed Avoncroft to see if they were interested, but haven't heard back.
They already have one like it, though.

Thank's Crispin.

Downside is that my TARDIS police box build will have to go on hold!
