Is there a market for Armortek's very, very first Tiger 1

[Pete Mallett]

As per the Subject line, would there be any interest in this. I've had it in storage for absolutely years, whilst I've been moving around, and now that I've settled down I'm trying to decide if I build it or sell it. I've assembled the lower hull and that's about it really. A couple years back I thought I would have time to really get at it and bought a new set of swing arms etc. from Armortek but, inevitably, when they arrived I was off doing something else!

I could probably build it this summer but then I think it might be wisest to sell it to someone who will actually get at it or use it for parts for another build. If I did sell it what would be a good price for it?

Well Pete I would gladly pay a "bag of sand" for the old girl regards Phil.

Hi Pete,

Well, I must confess to being a bit surprised at the level of interest in the old girl, with my inbox filling up rapidly. I've had some great advice on price and a few people expressing an interest in buying the old girl. I've even be advised to hold on to it as they are becoming as rare as hens teeth, especially now that Mark and Gill are leaving the hobby (end of an era folks).

At present she is still in storage and I am slowly pulling various things out of the storage unit and prep-ing them for sale (I'd built up a small collection of DML vehicles for my 'old age' projects but have come to realise that I most likely will never get to do what I planned to do so they've all got to go). As soon as I've sorted that lot I shall get the Tiger across here and take some pics and then decide what to do with it. That will probably be next week or the week after.

Thanks for all the interest, I'll get back to you when I've got it all photographed and I've made a final decision on it, clearly there is interest in it so that has at least answered my initial question and I've got a ball park figure to work to now as well, if/when I do decide to sell!
