Please note: this is a genuine 1980s original first edition, NOT a modern re-release. This lot stands out due to its incredible nostalgic value, completeness, and historical provenance. Aside from the vehicle itself, this auction includes everything originally purchased at the hobby shop back in 1986, right down to the original sales documentation. What is included in this lot: • Tamiya Monster Beetle (1/10 Scale R/C Off Roader): Assembled chassis equipped with the original RS-540 motor and mechanical wiper speed controller. The red hard-plastic Volkswagen Beetle body features its authentic vintage decals. • Original Tamiya Box: Stunning vintage box featuring the iconic original box-art illustration. Shows some age-appropriate storage wear & corner reparation but remains structurally sound and good enough for display. • Original Manual: The authentic Tamiya #58060 assembly and instruction booklet. • Acoms Techniplus Transmitter Set: Original 2-channel 27MHz AM transmitter, complete with its original box, styrofoam inlay, and the AR-227FE receiver (already installed in the chassis). • Nikonica Quick Charger: Vintage 7.2V quick charger with a 12V car plug connection. • Extra Spare Parts: Various original Tamiya parts trees (sprues) with spare components, shock oil, and mounting hardware in their original bags. • Unique Provenance / Documentation: The original handwritten purchase receipt from the well-known South African hobby shop "Redley Hobbies / Hobby Magic", showing a total amount of R1025.00, along with matching business cards. A wonderful piece of history! Condition Report: • Chassis & Electronics: Visually in clean, original condition with no significant damage or heavy mud residue. Not recently tested for functionality; seeing the original batteries have reached their end use. All components are well in tact and should be operational: sold as a historical collector's item/display model. • Bodywork: The red Beetle body shows light signs of use and age-related wear (some minor paint and decal imperfections near the nose and wheel arches), which is completely normal for its age. Windscreen wipers and a headlight cover lost in use. The iconic window set and yellow headlights ('Cibie' style) are present and intact.
