I have a boxed Robbe 959 1/10th rc kit from the 1980's. This is one of only 200 kits which came with an unpainted bodyshell.
This is an incomplete kit, seems to be missing the wheels, tyres and main chassis.
The shell is discoloured due to heat/age. However there are blister packs and parts bags all present so would be ideal for someone looking for extremely rare parts for this extremely rare kit. The manual and blueprint type exploded diagram/manual are also present as is the rear whale tail, window insert and chrome accesories.
Pics available on request including all contents of box.
Only asking 70 GBP obo for it - the only other one I can find in existence is owned by a guy on TamiyaClub and it's mentioned there that this is "one of the rarest kits in the world" which may or may not be true but I like the sound of it!

TamiyaClub info:
This is a 1/10 Robbe Porsche 959 kit from the late 80īs. It was available with a pro-painted silver hardshell body. A small limited number of only 200 pieces came with a white body. Fortunately my kit is one of the rare white versions. These kits are special system kits that can be modified with a lot of rare hop up options. A 4 wheel drive set that allows you to switch between rear 2wd or 4wd operated by the transmitter. To control the level of these vehicles you can add a system for vehicle height adjustment ( also operated by the transmitter ). The last available hop-up was a complete light kit. So, that headlights, taillights, break lights and turnsignals can be controlled right from your transmitter. The complete body and chassis plate are made of epoxy resin. The rear hood can be opened up to install and remove the battery. Finally this kit comes with a realistic interior.
