I doubt that is a kit, wheels and motor might be salvaged, but not at that money. The description is amusing as usual.

Brassey Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It doesn’t say much for the modelling fraternity. I spot something I need and hard to get hold of, not necessarily at a bargain price, but a reasonable one and I put a bid down early. Then someone comes along and snipes me for 20p at the last minute. Not very gentlemanly... 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you don't know for sure whether the winner bid 20p or £200 more than you as his maximum bid. Best thing to do is bid as much as you are prepared to, then ignore that auction until it ends. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
