wesacosa Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 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? Datsuncog, AndyW201, Split_Pin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 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!

eddyramrod Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 That Montego is gorgeous, I can hardly wait for them to come down to proper prices! As for the Orange Blossom @wesacosa, yes, speak to @Spottedlaurel about that, he'll be able to advise you. wesacosa and Spottedlaurel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that unbuilt Orange Blossom model kit is worth anything? 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. wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Spotted this in the charity shop, but I think it must be a re-release, the box looked too glossy and new to be original I did buy a Majorette F40 And some of these PG tips mail-ins, they're quite nice castings to might paint and detail one Datsuncog, Remspoor and AndyW201 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
