Can't help you with much except to say that the motor is diesel and not petrol. I would guess that the value may be in the old motor rather than the model as a whole. Any markings on the engine?

Diesel fuel is for memory, about but please check first 73% either 20% castor oil or similar and 7% Amal nitrate. Use to mix a lot of it back in the late 70s not 100% sure of the exact quantise of each ingredient. Love the smell of burnt model diesel.
