There are two on Ebay for £14.99 + P&P and £23.77 plus unknown P&P, and I think they were about £30 new, so yes - especially if it's worth seven quid to you
 (Most inexplicable models around are the endless parade of dusty March 792s that turned up a few years ago...) |

Yep, I reckon, that's a good buy. Damon's first GP outing in that car I believe.

If it was brand new that was certainly a bargain as it's fairly rare I think?
It's quite interesting to see which kinds of models hold their 'value' better than others and which ones seem to pop up more than others. Damon's cars, particularly the UT/Minichamps 1:18 and 1:43's seem to be worth quite a lot! Last edited by chunterer; 24 Sep 2008 at 10:39. |

you sure did , I would love that model
 I wouldnt really mind paying whatever they wanted for it , sentimental value far outweighs financial cost in my view (depending on the cost of course LOL) It was Damon's first GP he had qualified for after failing to qualify for the previous 5 Gp's , he failed again to qualify at the next one in Germany but he managed to make the grid for Hungary and then Brabham pulled out of F1 Very good buy

I don't think they did.
Can only recall the 89/90 Brabham's from Onyx? |
