Considering
how rare gold is, it’s amazing
how many incredible creations have been made from the precious metal.
They have
been gold spoons, bowls, kettles and even a gold leaf kitchen. Very
bizarre but
lovely!
However, this latest golden creation is
very strange indeed! Tata Motors has created a golden car. Not just any
golden
car either, a golden Tato Nano! The Tato Nano is the world’s cheapest
car and
only goes up to 65mph. However, Tata Nano saw fit to add 95kg of
precious
metals to it and make it the world’s most expensive car!
Now, it would have been excellent to have
made an expensive car like a Ferrari or a Bugatti Veyron even more
expensive by
pouring precious metals and gemstones over it, but the contrast between
the
cheap Goldplus Nano and the expensive metals on it is indeed
interesting.
The car has:
·
80kg of 22 carat gold
·
15kg of silver
·
Various gemstones
Whilst the car is thought to cost an
estimated $4.6 million, it was actually designed to showcase 5,000 years
of
Indian jewellery-making and should anyone wish to buy it, will sadly
find it’s
not for sale.
Other weird and wonderful golden creations which
have shown up in the news lately include:
A solid gold loo!
Yes, that’s right. A Hong Kong company has created
a toilet made of solid gold. Worth about £20 million it makes spending a
penny
a completely different thing altogether. This golden loo may eventually
be
melted down for the money but we say it should stay, if only as a
monument to
incredible extravagance.
Kate Moss – in gold!
Kate Moss has been one of the most
in-demand models in the world for the last twenty years and continues to
light
up the fashion world with her daring fashion choices and perfectly
proportioned
face and figure. Mark Quinn, a renowned designer, clearly thinks so as
well.
He has created a life sized solid gold
figure of Kate Moss doing a pose that means it can’t really be displayed
in the
average lounge. “Kate” is the largest solid gold statue made of anyone
since
the heady days of ancient Egypt – and we know how restrained those guys
were.
Whilst you might not be able to afford a
solid gold loo – and to be honest, would you really spend £20 million? -
You could
still benefit from the current high price of gold by selling any scrap
gold you
might have lying around. People often forget exactly how much they own
until
they find a dusty old jewellery box or inherit something.
Using an online gold buyer like Postgoldforcash.com means that you
will get an excellent price for your gold when selling
gold for cash, and really benefit from the current high gold
price.
