This was my old dogfighter and I got rid of it like a numpty but I can't remember what it was disregard the sell as I added that it's not the original

870C with many options: aluminum turnbuckles, AE shocks, top deck, Works wheels (wrong offset), RW tufnol spur gear, front RPM or Andy's a-arms... Looks like it's missing the chassis brace and belt tensioner. The shell is from a 91 Works.

Thanks Asso_man
And to my next question then are they hard to get hold of and what are they worth as I might be abel to get it back

Not that hard to get a hold of. They pop up on ebay every now and then. Value,, generally about the same as an optima mid, perhaps slightly more.

I think I might just cut my losses and build a works 91 I always wanted one of those when I was a kid

You really only have the 91 shocktowers topdeck and rims if the 91, be easier to make it a nice 870...although there is a 91 chassis on ebay and the guy had the right sus arms for the 91/92/93 as well...they r nice, i have a couple... A shelfer and a runner...

I sold that car at the end of last year and was getting a bit sentimental wanting it back but I don't think I'm gonna bother with it

Oh well...i have seen 3 or 4 pop up in the last month... One from your neck of the woods is on fleabay now...i have to get less sentimental as i am getting too many cars now..!!

Nah, bag yourself a nice 91 or 92 on that auction site TBH. I know how you feel getting sentimental, id kill just to see my old '94, i know it went to a collector in Scotland, but no joy tracking it down, even these days with the world being smaller, and so many of us likeminded on forums and social media.

Regarding the option parts used, I think the tufnol spur gear is Nodis, not RW. RW was started later, I bought lots of stuff from Nodis that time.
