What would my Britten Model be worth
Got a Britten Model stored away in the cupboard. Its the real deal Die Cast V1000 which was made in limited numbers and in its day cost around $300. Its in an unfinished state because I could not get the blue colour right. Rather than mess it up or get the colour wrong I put it back in the box and put in back in the cupboard for a rainy day. The rainy day has never come!!! I'm sure it must be worth a few $$$$ and I'm sure someone would love it in their collection.
Im not the Ghost Rider, he rides too slow.
Must go faster - but how?
What, one second hand, half-completed kit set model? I bet you've even got glue on the screen.
Give ya $10. Just remove this thread quickly, and don't tell anyone about this.
At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

Told ya someone would want it, from memory (its been a while....OK many years) the screen is mint. Only part I can remember missing is the rear sprocket or front section of chain (cant remember) which was missing when I got the kit from Britten.

Bugger! I wonder if they still make spares?
Still, outta my price range.

We bought one, but we haven't started making it up yet. It's sitting in one of the spare wardrobes with about 10 other bike models not yet started (I buy them when I see them as good ones are hard to get).
I've seen one completed at the Britten shop near the Square in Chch. Looked really good.

I seem to remember the guy at the Britten shop telling me about where to get the paint. I'll give him a call and ask him. Watch this space.

I made a Virago model about 4 years ago too.. the stand didn't fit right and it kept falling over and braking the mirrors off... pissed me off so I gave it to my cousin who later traded it with a friend for some random crap... loleven made a virago model about 5 years before I bought one, must have been destiny

Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

It sucks huh...Same here. Mine is on it's side now.
I was so stocked with mine... turned out perfect except for the stand... went through about 4 tubes of superglue (most went onto the wood board I was using to protect the table). I was actually really lucky, some little asian shop/dairy in Browns Bay was selling about 5 different motorbike models for like $20 each... so I brought the Virago, went back once I had finished it to get another one and he didn't have any more... Went into a model shop and the exact same Virago was selling for $80... can't be bother buying another one and building it...

right now the whole lot are buried in boxes somewhere, so undoubtably not in the best condition anymore
The virago one I musta made about 15 years ago now, maybe even more.
It was one of the only ones to have survived a few moves, most have karked it along the way..... I think it is mostly still intact, along with the britten...mostly anyway...altho I dunno about the biker dude on top tho, think he lost an arm somewhere.... the one-armed virago rider!
