Lesney soap car racer.

I assume that you're referring to the pre-Matchbox soap box racer.
Really, the only way to work out what such an item is worth to to find a previous auction and adjust the hammer price for condition and elapsed time. However, exposure (i.e. publicity) also plays a part, and a desirable item badly advertised and/or in an obscure auction will often fetch well below what it would have done if sold by e.g. Vectis.
