This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in March 2006 for £137 in the following condition:
This beautiful and hard to find Corgi model is in mint perfect condition, one of the best I've seen, and everything is fully working - the suspension is perfect, the original opening suitcase is inside and the rear seat folds up and down as you push the car along pressing the roof - wonderful!
It comes in its equally superb original box which has an original 4/6 price on one end flap, and is very crisp, very clean, very bright and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!
