Talking 1988 Tamiya Avante newly built!



I'm happy - I've always lusted after the Avante (amongst others) since I was a kid and just bought one off eBay from Canada......my wife WILL kill me! See pics and tell me your thoughts.

As the 2011 re-release is approx £490 in the UK (ok cheaper from China), surely a new built original must be worth more WITH a Technigold RX-540VZ motor and all original Tamiya EXPEC electrics too....even the TX! I'm just trying to justify what I paid for her .....go on, someone tell me it's worth megabucks pretty please?!

It's been run once, as you can see some dirt on the tyres, but is mint, I'll make those tyres black again

This is quickly becoming an expensive obsession.....the same guy has an Optima shelf queen and an Optima Mid too.....help!!

I'll need to get myself some pedestals made and sit all these in a glass display cabinet.

Dan
