Well my £5.50 version arrived this morning, and it works. 
I'm still waiting for some extension leads to link boot to cabin so tried a test indoors, with the car DVB-T tuner connected to a monitor and just hanging this aerial out of a window in my office - right next to the car.
It actually works surprisingly well, though atmospheric conditions today are very different to yesterday so reception is better. Getting 63% signal strength and over 90% quality - both TV & radio are clean and crackle-free.
