Not sure but I am very interested. Do you have the box, is the body genuine or a repro?

j0pp3 · #4 19-02-2013

It's worth as much as the highest bidder is willing to pay within a given period

Very nice mid...

I may have been lucky but I paid 180 quid for a boxed newly built mid, when it arrived I couldn't find any signs of it being run at all.

I fitted a repro shell and wing as the owner had painted it red and now it is a shelf queen. The guy said his uncle had given it to him as had found it in his attic.

The box, inner card and manual are mint.

Hope that helps and sorry if not!

no I don't have the box or manual and the shell is a repro but that is the only bit that isn't original.ive been looking at pictures of optima mids but I havnt seen these adjustable tie rods before has anyone else?

£220, apparently.

To check current value ebay completed listings is always the most reliable source.

The basic Mid didn't come with turnbuckles, just threaded links. The turnbuckles fitted aren't Kyosho ones.

I thought £220 was very reasonable.
Paying for some bills this month anyways! Didn't really fit in my Lazer collection.

I am sure I have seen those links in Dubro packets before. If not the same then similar.

If you mean the visit my showroom link, that's probably around half of what I've got in my collection.
