There's Tamiya-esque indentifiers there such as the chassis sides and bracers which resemble the tamiya way in which the Tamiya ORV chassis is designed. I am 99% sure it's not a Tamiya.

OK, an update. The chassis is a Kyosho Super Alta. Thiis one looks like it had the Mini body on it. Thanks to my mates at Tamiyaclub for identifying this one.

You're welcome. No idea as to a value. I'd expect not worth a lot, but if someone is really after one then who knows...

Well that brings back memories, yes it is the Kyosho Mini Cooper, i had one, green with Mk1 Chrome, it was pretty useless, prehistoric suspension especially the rear, the bits used to fall off the body, and the spur gear was always stripping its teeth, good fun when your 13 though, and had a full size mini too then so was nice to have both!
