I hope someone here on or on DT got it. I was bidding on it, but since I already have one, i bowed out at $60.

Whoever got it, got a mega good deal. $66 is an awesome price considering I paid $150 for mine (however my F AT is rarer for a few reasons)

Why is it so rare? Is it related to the manufacturing year?

Yes. It could very well be the last Model F AT produced. It was made on 21 Apr 1987, 20 days after IBM stopped production of AT's. And it is a UK model.
