Great haul there - the Corgi Rover P6 looks an ace find also!

It's ok,but needs 2 wheels,rear window is broken,suspension is dodgy,glass roof is missing,& spare wheel holder is broken.Paint isn't too bad though,all the parts are available,& it was only 40p

I think I need to visit your boot sale!  Or have you scoured it clean?

started to go through some old stuff in my dad's loft which has been in there 25 years or so.  started to uncover a few of my old model cars , not found my box of pre enjoyed matchbox cars but found some sadly badly stored Bburago and the like, and also found my Micro Machines!

I wonder if that unbuilt Orange Blossom model kit is worth anything?

its a badly made and now damaged plastic kit model of the Hannu Mikkola Eaton's Yale works Escort. can't remember which manufactures kit it is but it was circa 1990

Edit

by badly made I mean badly assembled by me. it was a nice kit

Got my Montego model today.

As pointed out it's a bit of a rogue as it's definitely a post 1989 Rover spec car but has 1987-89 Austin Rover badges. 

Very nice all the same.and I'm delighted to finally have one. I resorted to making ine out of plasticard in the 1990s because nothing else was available!

I had one of those Orange Blossom kits a few years ago. A little bit outside of my area of interest, so I sold it on eBay and even then it went for a decent amount. Assuming the kit is intact and decals are good then I reckon £20 if the box is a bit damaged? I don't seem to win very much for less than that.
