How about this Corgi model to add to your collection :-)

Costs more than some actual MGFs. lol

The aerial and door mirrors are missing, so not even complete!

Erm full on mental. Just bought a TF 160 for £600 so my answer would be NO.

May I suggest you go back and look at the photos once again. In one it clearly shows them still attached to the little mould frame they came with so in fct they have never been fitted to the model. It's untouched and yes so new.

No doubt a model/toy car collector is their intended market for this. Just like a clock work Lead Hornby Toy train (Engine) would be and those if boxed would most likely go for way more than they are asking for this MGF Model and far more of the Trians were made even if it was longer ago now.

I could not afford it but if I could and it was something tht I desired then the price would not be the real reason for not going for it. It would depend on if and where would if fit into the collection. Price wuld be weighed up against condition and rarity as any collector no doubt will do.
