New ones available here.
If you want to look at the legislation it's here. Knock yourself out trying to make sense of it! lol
As far as I can tell it seems like it all has to do with the angle an A-bar makes with respect to the front bumper and the bonnet, as well as the amount the material the A-bar is made of bends under impact.
I suspect any A-bars sold as new ones should be EC-type approved as well.
EDIT: For the OP - no they aren't worth very much but people try to flog them for silly money on eBay so somebody must be willing to pay for them!

All Steel A-bars/Bull bars are most certainly illegal for fitment to any vehicle nowadays. Its not illegal to sell them but its illegal to fit them and its illegal to drive a vehicle if it was fitted with them after 25/05/08.En Ferus Hostis. Be your own man. Follow nobody.

Maybe that statement is a little over the top as an analogy, but you get my drift.'Tis better to sting than to be stung!
