Cable car fleet goes up for sale

A fleet of gondolas which used to grace a Derbyshire tourist attraction has gone up for sale.

The Heights of Abraham cable cars were replaced in 2004 with state-of-the-art cabins, designed by the same engineer responsible for the London Eye.

Company directors have now put six of the original 20-year-old cars up for sale on internet auction site Ebay with a starting bid of £50.

The cable ride opened in 1984 and has transported 8 million visitors.

The cars transport visitors up and down the Peak District hillside at Matlock Bath.
