Authentic Isle Of Wight Monolith As Seen On Tv And Social Media.
This is not stolen i will explain how i came to obtaim this.
I live on the isle of wight and was returning home from a job we were going to pass compton car park on route home so we thought we would take a look at the famous monolith, unfortunately the monolith was in a sorry state and being loaded onto the back of a national trust pick up truck, i made am offer to purchase the monolith direct from the national trust staff in the form of a cash donation .
The monolith is in a very sorry state there are cracks and chips to the glass and the timber plinth that the item sat on is missing but could easily be rebuilt.
Aside from said plinth it could easily be rebuilt and would be an awesome piece to own, you 100% will not find another one this is the real deal isle of wight monolith ...
Please note i live on the isle of wight and this is collection only.

Legally I don’t know. Is it classed as rubbish or someone’s personal belongings? Only the ‘artist’ can answer that.

All I will say is that its pretty harsh to offer the NT a donation (which was then handed back) to take it when the person asked to get rid of it probably thought ‘he’s doing us a favour, charitable donation, saves us a disposal job’ etc. and now he’s hocking it on eBay.

It was done by a local guy as an homage and a laugh, it has absolutely no value yet people are bidding thousands. The mind boggles.
