Bosch sell some. About £200 each I think. Somewhere I have their
catalogue. If you're still reading this thread let me know and I'll see
if I can find their phone number.

I think you're referring to the Bosch GPA 750 which is officially 1HP and
favoured by builders of combat robots, though they usually weld them up for
added durability!. A quick Google should find all the info, Ellis components
are I believe the only UK stockist and it's around £100, though that could
have changed as I've been out of the robot wars thing for a while now. Oh
and they are 24V, I would have thought 250V DC was a very odd voltage for a
motor of this size.

If it's really 24V you're after
I've got a couple of 24V traction motors spare, anonymous but I'd
guess at least 1 hp from their size, apparently unused.
