Yes, I googled and found that site.

Thanks, but it doesn't provide much info.

They are $800 new:

Available exclusively at Maybach dealerships.

Tom,

$800 is depending who you talk to. My dealer wants to charge more than that. I haven't decided that $800 is the right price for an umbrella. In fact I about fell off my chair. I've contacted Dunhill to inquire about what they offer.

In the mean time I purchased a nice 62" golf umbrella with a holder. $70.00 total

$700 + for an umbrella .

but i guess thats business like paying $4000 for a chanel jacket.

Hey LJ,

I must admit that figure did strike me as a bit high, even for Dunhill.

Unfortunately, the only shop I've found that stocks it online is in Milton Keynes (Buckinghamshire), and they are charging more than twice that much:

Today's exchange rates being what they are, £870 must work out to at least $1,600, if not $1,700. Fairly outrageous in my opinion. Particularly considering other Dunhill brollys are available for as little as £20.

Case in point:

Good info Tom,

I too think it's a bit much and out of character for me to even consider it. What intrigues me about the item is the ability to screw in the pole on the bottom and create a sun umbrella for club events. Seems a little pricey for this little option. Though I haven't found a better solution for that issue, I did find a better umbrella "Gustbuster 68" Golf Umbrella Pro Series Gold, Black" for $40.

1600 to 1700 USD, what does it do protect you from nuclear fallout as well?

I own a maybach umbrella. It's in brand new condition. Never been used. Would anyone be interested in buying it? Open to offers.
