Nice find. Most of the parts are shared with the SRB (Sand Scorcher / Rough Rider /Ranger) so are easy to find. Parts of the rear suspension, the radio plate, the rear bumper and the chassis are unique, but do come up on ebay every so often (I just bought a Superchamp chassis for £9 posted, but this is only slightly different to the SRB).
The really hard to find bits are the bodyshell and decals.

How much would I pay for one, or how much is it worth :P ?

You could probably sell it for around £120, maybe a bit more as it seems to be pretty complete and you've got the box.

I got one too, totaly restored it. Did pay around 150 euro for it in 2008 (auction), later on bought some new tires, wheels etc. probabbly spent 200 euro in total. I really enjoy the car and prices will go up since more collectors are appreciating them. (just keep it for at least 20 years :P )

This one hasnt been re-released like the Rough Rider and Sand Scorcher.

You only mis the 2 front headlights.

Ecellent find !
I'm chasing one since a while now, but couldn't find the right one until now !
I really don't care how much you paid for it, but as it looks pretty complete and as the box is included wich is very rare on my opinion...i think you got it for a good price !
Looking forward to see more detailed pictures once you got it.
