Hey guess what Jim, paid £39 for the pen, same pen sold tonight on ebay for £187

Yep, thats a very nice price! Good condition ones tend to go for around $100 USD, and up past $200 for mint. Some seem to favor the Parker 75 (USA) over the Parker Premier (France), but I think they're both nice pens. The Premier is a larger pen, so it's more comfortable for people with larger hands. The great thing about these pens is the easy nib swapping AND the nib rotation (to suit your pen holding preferences).
