I know I'll get laughed at for this, but I think it's damned good-looking.

That control setup looks homeschooled.

I want a vibrola like Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) has on his Vs. (My 2000 LE has a stop tail and Grovers). I guess in line with the overall bound black-and-cream LP look the Traditional Pro ought to have a flying pickguard?

Nah.

As ever, i prefer the more basic V's, preferably with the string-thru v plate and a guard. But i see what your saying about a vibrola. I forget you like Wishbone Ash

I see what you mean. Hmm. Presumably it's Neck Vol., Bridge Vol., Pickup selector, Tone (least used)

Mine has this arrangement:

I prefer the big pickguard '60s Vs to the '50s design, especially around the neck joint, and the truss rod cover... though I'd swap the positions of that switch and foremost knob. The one NickS just posted is a later combination design I quite like, using the body, tailpiece and TRC of the '60s design with '50s rings/pickguard/control scheme (and less cotton swabesque colours).

How much?

I do not remember...... It's not like I actually have the money for it so the price did not stick with me... Reverends are under $1k new so it cannot be to bad.

Reverends are great......Affordable, great playing and sounding USA built geet-fiddlez

If you wanna check the GC is the one in Crestwood, MO

the rev is the ron asheton of the stooges' sig model. he died not long after they were introduced. im guessing secondhand you could get one for 5-600usd.
it's their Volcano model with x3 p90s and the sig and bolts. i'm thinking you could get a regular Volcano cheaper. they changed the models around every year so there are slight differences like the pin lock tuners, pickup arrangements, and colors.
