    Worth how much? Any idea? I think you'll find it is the E Type ERA. The A/B/C/D types were the upright originals.

    Given that both ERA and BRM were based on national pride, I suppose that it is appropriate that I photographed this today, St George's day...

    I still have the template for the radiator grille and the tyres on this model match those of the supplied paperwork - which includes a photograph. The photograph with the paperwork also includes a driver.

    ERC you're right. E type it is. I scored this model as a resto job so it's not entirely accurate..........But it is different !

    Just checked on Ebay. The last one went for about 38GBP!

    The MRRC 4WD Mercedes unbuilt slot racing kit I sold in NZ, fetched a lot more than that!

    I do have the full set of Dad's Merit kits (built up) with the original boxes. He made a good job of those.

    Totally agree, wish I had the talent, all my models are diecast or resin and not made by myself.
