Terence Moore Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 How does that price relate to the original?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'd give him £60 for it, 'hand selected parts' - really? I understood they were ported 61RFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Jefferies Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes, I think he will be lucky to get £525 for it. However it was a pretty special engine and was extensively re-worked. There is a review here:- **LINK** Apparently it was originally listed at $499.95 but Tower Hobbies sold it for £339.99 though I'm not sure when that would have been. I think it WAS quite a motor but of course things move on and now it is only worth what someone will pay so I guess he is looking for a fairly well heeled collector. 'Pity......... I would love to see it doing what it was designed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dunning Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think the price was around £320 so asking 2/3 more than that is taking the Michael. Someone in the States might pay it as the number of classic kits that are sold at silly prices is un-believable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Moore Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It belongs in a model, in the air, not in a collector's display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
