You might try a tractor supply store. Many older tractors here in the U.S. use this style battery and are easily obtainable through tractor dealers and part stores. Assuming your battery group is 3EE. Good luck.

Whew, by my calculation the 167.49 GBP purchase price of the 88 ah batt comes to 215.18 USD!

Yes,but it's Europe and this battery is quite cheap,most offers are around $300 and it's not very easy to find them :)

Prices in Europe are much higher than in the US...The last similar battery I bought in Switzerland was about $ 250.00.

I purchased a Marine Optima Battery for my vintage boat, and that cost over AU$320.00, and that was my price.
