Best tubulars for around £25?

I've just ordered some new wheels and need some (tubular) tyres to go on them. I've only ever used clinchers before and as I've no spare tubulars I'm going to have to buy 4 in one go so trying to keep the cost down.
Your suggestions will be greatly welcomed, thanks.

Not sure how pricey they are - but ContiGP4000 tubs are very good. You may be able to get 4 for about that price I reckon ?0

I've also used various Tufo tubulars and not found them lacking in any way. For whatever reason they seem to be the easiest to glue on and since they are tubeless pinch flats just don't happen. I seem to be the only one who has ever really used them and I am hated for it. :? :?

+1 for Vittoria Corsas - nice and supple - same pair for 2 seasons, no punctures. Team-mate bought 3x Conti GP tubs - 4 race starts, 3 punctures - go figure? I was riding the same races, zero punctures.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

I always get a kind of kick out of the 10 minutes before a race starts. The riders are
waiting at the start line, getting a few last words and announcements before they're sent off and sure as sh*t someone blows a tire just standing there. And not just a flat from a leak. I'm talking a loud pop or bang. And they were just standing there. One of the great mysteries of cycling.0
