1/87 scale -- Wiking -- Porsche 550 Spyder

One of my favorite models.  It’s barely over an inch long.  It’s an old model (guessing 60s?).  It’s pretty basic, just molded plastic, but has a driver.  It’s  just two pieces of plastic (top and bottom), some basic plastic wheels/tires & a basic molded racing driver figure.  It’s silver & molded in color (not painted).  Not very detailed but has just the right “feel.”  It’s sitting on a little shelf next to me on my home workstation.  I found two on eBay for sale, both out of Germany.  One is about $30 & the other is $100 (with shipping).  Way too much for what it is...  Considering what it’s made of & how it’s made, you would think it could be made for 25 cents...
