It's been on offer a while, you might get it for less.

Thank you for thinking of me Ivor, but it was really the low-energy and environmental credentials of the home-made natural fridge that I was after, rather than a period style.

If you google with the search terms "chest freezer" "fridge" "conversion" you will find a ton of stuff on how to build a really efficient fridge. You could go the whole hog and replace the refrigerant with propane as a more environmentally responsible option, although I would have reservations about using a flammable gas in an electrical appliance.
