Wow! thats almost what i paid for the whole car

He he,
That bumper is probably one of the hardest Tamiya parts to find as "new". So the price is as expected more or less.

yeah, I followed that auction and a few other auctions that seller has as I have a Lancia 037 that I'd like to restore but prices like this kind of scare me.

nice

and I still don't know where or what is the history behind my special part.

Is that the same as a "special purpose"?

thought you would say something like that, as soon as I clicked submit

Seeing what people will pay for things like that bumper really annoys me - it would've cost pence to make & the moulding machine would've been banging one out every 10-15 seconds, no skill, no effort, no labour. If it wasn't for the fact that it's rare & all the collectors were fighting over it, it wouldn't have been worth 5p at a jumble sale!

One more, I scored one a couple month ago for 16
