Just had a look, it appears to be in Japan.

I used to chuck all my Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox cars into a box all together, they probably had their own individual boxes but they went in the bin as soon as I got them. Never took care of any of them, they got crashed and played to death, my garden was a bit like Sid,s from Toy Story.

I like looking at the model cars these days but don’t hanker after them. I paid £20 for a +2 model kit a few years back, I have nearly finished assembling it

I have a similar Corgi Elan model with the box I bought about 30 years ago for around $20 ... At that price I will have to add it to my will along with my real Lotus hahahaha

The ebay seller is a bit optimistic with price.
I regularly see them at auctions (UK). Nice boxed examples (with original collectors club leaflet that was in the box) sell usually for about £100.

I’m still waiting for a nice 1/18 DHC Sprint in lagoon blue without a bonnet bulge. There’s been S4 FHCs and lots of S3s, but no decent sprints.

Anyone got any contacts at Sunstar etc ?

He’s going to be disappointed. Probably saw the price for the Jim Clark Elan!
