Hi everyone
I have a #25 shell or bp garage layout set
I have tried to find its value online and I'm struggling
This set is complete right down to the paints brush glue cars and buildings
The cars have never been out of there boxes and is all untouched from new
The outer thick card box shows signs of 50 years of storage and is dusty though not ripped
I'm looking to get a value on it as it may well be sold
From what I can tell totally complete sets are quite rare now
Any thoughts guys
Thanks

Hi Bronzegreen, A warm welcome to the forum.
Any chance of a picture of the garage?.

I'll try
Not used to forums

WOW! a stunning gift set and easily three figure sums of money if it really is in a condition that it appears to be in the photo. I think the Corgi collectors here on the forum would like to see the contents in more detail, like very carefully taking the cars out of their boxes and photographing them separately.

Your pictures are a bit big at the moment, but don't worry too much about that, we can sort it out later, just do some more clear and in focus photos for us and by the way...welcome to the forum, we love seeing the sort of collectibles you have started with, thank's.

Cheers ghost hunter
I'm not sure if I can resize photos as I only have my phone for internet access
The cars have never seen the light of day since leaving the factory
If anyone is on Facebook I can post on there quite easy
The above photo took ages to upload
The only ware on the set is on the outer box the rest is new

Thanks ghost hunter
The last time these cars saw the light of day was in the factory
They have never been out of there boxes
I'm only using a phone so not sure how to adjust picture size etc
I can post to Facebook easy enough though

amazing set that no kid ever got to play with.....This is something that will only have a high market value if you sell it somewhere like vectis or collectoys where deep pockets high end collectors have a chance to see the auction and bid!

Hi BronzeGreen, welcome to the Forum. I hope you dont mind me re-sizing your image.

It's a little easier to see. Can we please have some detailed photographs of the contents. By the way it looks to be in superb condition, if the cars are as good as the boxes you have a very sought after item there.

Stunning!
