Since there was the Ford F1 car by BBR in Mikes inventory, that sold for $950, that got me wondering....what is the rarest BBR/MR of all time?
I think we should all go through and post our rarest model we own, and if possible, give info on what are the rarest ones out there. I will post a picture of mine when i get a chance.
this should be interesting....
Thanks

I imagine we should resrict this to the rarest factory built model?
In my case, I think it might be my MCM Top Queens 1907 Walter Christie - I have never seen one listed for sale anywhere in the ten years I have been collecting (I bought mine privately from Phil Alderman).

The bleu drogo GTO, bbr made for Rainer 1/1.
There are several extremely rare BBR's.
1:24 288GTO, the 250 europa cabriolet are 2 of the rarest.
The AMR 275GTB firetruck (only 160 kits were made)
The bosica 156-85 F1
to name a few.. |

Concerning the MCM 1907 Walter Christie FWD that Jono mentioned, mine is LE #63/125. I don't know if that many were made though and I don't know if 125 is a low production run.
In general, how many models is a rare run?
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve |

Hans, if you are referring to the light blue version, without bumpers, there were 8 of those made. The Green version with bumpers was made especially for Rainer for his Birthday (i think) and there is only one of those in existance... The dark blue Drogo, that Mike recently had, is up there for being rare. It sold for $600....

| I think the price doesnt reflect rarity. You only need two collectors on ebay who want a model at all cost and the price rises through the roof. |

I my mind there a lot of older rare BBR or Styling Models out there:
I sold a 365 California Spyder from Styling Models for 705 Euro on eBay
One of the rarest BBR is as far i know SM23 "250 Europa Cabrio", i personaly know only 4 collectors they have it in the collection, my is on the way thanks to Mike !!
The dark blue DROGO is very rare but i have a blue 365 California Spyder this is much rarer than the blue DROGO :-)
Some Times ago i get a offer from a France collector and the offer was over the Price of the red i sold on ebay....but its not for sale.
