The 'Nick Charles' typewriter listed for sale on Australian eBay by amandas26 of Sunbury, Melbourne.

Oddly enough, the seller claims her Empire Aristocrat dates from the same year as Ted's machine - 1956! Her machine was originally sold by Holmes & Simcock Ltd in Coventry, England.
Ted's actual 'Nick Charles' typewriter. I don't know whether he still has it or not.
