Ah, yes, the price list.

Brian Harvey (proprietor of Grand Prix Models) is an idiosyncratic old soul, and he tends to work on the principle that "if you need to ask the price, then you probably can't afford it".

Ahem.

For the rest of us mortals, GPM will charge around £32 to £35 for a BBR kit, or if you prefer, would supply a jewel-like prebuilt one for something in the region of £120.

This is, I concede, a lot more than the average Minichumps or Mattel model, but the resulting miniature is in a totally different league. Bear in mind also that as a resident of a non-European country, you can expect to knock 15% off the price, to account for non-applicable taxes.

While I've not tried the BBR Mercedes, I was very happy with their 1995 Jordan, which went together very nicely. They are highly regarded in their field.
