Pocher Original Mercedes Kit For Sale Or Trade

[Bugatti Fan]

UK modeller wishes to dispose of an original Pocher Mercedes kit and some assorted Pocher Rolls parts.
The Mercedes kit was acquired second hand about 20 odd years ago. Wire wheels have already been built and the dashboard built up, otherwise the rest unbuilt as far as I can see. The kit may need small screws for replacements.

Along with the Mercedes an array of odd parts from a Pocher Rolls was also acquired. As far as I know from memory the Rolls 'Bitsa' as I call it consists of a full chassis that has been assembled. The engine, fuel tank, trsnsmission, and other underpinnings are loose kit parts. An original Pocher Rolls Radiator (made from brass and plated) with mascot and headlamps. There is a floor, firewall and bonnet panels as loose bits, plus a set of 5 wire wheels that have already been assembled. So maybe the basis for a semi scratch build by an experienced model maker who could build a body for it.

Open to offers but unfortunately due to size, weight, packing and shipping costs this will have to be a UK sale only where the buyer can inspect and collect. Location Mid Bedfordshire.

I actually have unbuilt both of those in my stash. Sold off a number of the others a few years ago and paid off some bills. I have 3 unbuilt and one built that I am not all that taken with.

Would it be rude if i said how much do you want, "NOT" to send it to me

Seriously i get why people would like these kits but to me they are a little too close to meccano and a little to far away from actual models.

Had to google that one, like erector sets.

@paddy Paddy is right. They have a lot of decent detail in many areas, but to do the mechanical linkages and such they used a lot of sheet metal parts. There is one (maybe more) place that does a lot of quality AM improvement parts for these, but those will about double the cost. You do get a vastly improved build though.
I have also seen where some people use these as basic starter points to build specific models of specific cars, which then sell for lots of $$. Get out of it what you put into it I guess.
