description  I picked this up from Feepay last week and when it arrived oday I was amazed at its excellent condition. The owner ( a female ) had been bought it by her father in the 80's and had only used it once or twice. On further inspection I cant se how she ever used it as the motor had not been set right and the gears wouldn't mesh So I set the spacers correctly and hey presto it sprung to life. The wheels had also been fitted wrong and in doing so had broke the triangle hexes lol, so I will have to get some new ones of them and new tyres as for some reason foam tyres had been fitted!!!! I bought this for a very reasonable price and could easily list it as new built as the only mark on it is a couple small ones on the bumper. The shell could do with a strip and re-paint, maybe a little trim, but at least it has no cracks. To my delight the side pods are still unused in the kit box, these are so often missing as they are not normaly fitted because they are fiddly and make it difficult to fit the body on. I'm wondering if I should have kept my NIB as a NIB now instead of building it lol Ahh well, looks better on the shelf anyway
