Interesting - I've never seen the box before (all of ours were used by a
school and all the packaging has long since gone). Actually, does it come
with any disks? I'm not sure if those are archived and available anywhere...
The rubber tyre treads seem really prone to decay incidentally; I've
still not found a good replacement (O-rings from a hardware store are
probably the best bet, but I've not found any the right size yet)
Couldn't easily guess at a price I'm afraid (too used to 'finds' and
word-of-mouth trades and donations these days!), although I suspect it'd
be in the same sort of range as a Valiant Turtle.

I've dug the box out. It looks virtually unused.
Box title is Computing Experimental. Made by Fischertechnik in West
Germany.
Inside it says for BBC B, B+ and Master computers.
Two 5.25" double sided floppy disks labelled disk 1 to 4.
User manual and Assembly manual.
The O ring rubber tyres are not even fitted to the wheels and the rubber
seems fine.
I believe the ROM is in the BBC Master that came with it.
If anyone knows the value then please let me know.
Thanks
Andy

Typical of toy wheels of this vintage.

I don't, but I'd be interested in obtaining the equivalent that used
Lego instead.

Are you talking about a robotics computing kit for the BBC or a BBC Buggy
kit based on Fischertechnik parts - they're two different animals (and
different prices).
