This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in January 2006 for £185.00 in the following condition:

This great TV-sci fi classic model is the very hard to find first issue 1969 release of the model in the card box, and is in fantastic condition for its age, showing only the odd tiny mark and age blemish, with fully-operating gadgets, it’s a real beauty!

It comes in its superb original inner and outer box, showing just some slight wear at the hinges and flap edges on the outer, while the inner is perfect, protected by a very rare inner packing polystyrene piece that was supposed to be removed by the dealer before selling. Also included is the original instructions sheet, making this a complete and very desirable complete item!

A great and very rarely offered Gerry Anderson sci-fi collectible, this is all 100 per cent original, looking wonderful considering it is nearly 40 years old, and is all fully working - hard to find a better example of this very desirable and difficult to find sci-fi classic collectable, and a terrific investment piece!
