A most amazing model considering its age and manufacturer.....
I have it in silver having found it up on a shelf all by its lonesome at a Toys-R-Us outlet store. I couldn't believe how well it was done as back then, Maisto was making trash in the $10-$20 range. It still is prominantly displayed in my car room/ man cave.

I have the silver one also.
I got this "no box orphan" for $20. It's in real good shape but of course no papers. I'm figuring lack of documentation won't have much impact on the value of this one!

(PICS) Here are the Le Mans and Walkinshaw versions
photo no longer available
The Le Mans version is interesting because of the controversy that surrounded the real car. 100 of the models were made and were available shortly after the original Maisto release. It cost me ?50!
The Walkinshaw version was, from memory, the last variation available in the UK. I bought it new at the end of 1994.
