The old Rileys are all marvellous and very collectible models and there are two that are particularly hard to find and valuable now. One is the 205M Mechanical edition in red and the other is the non-mechanical edition in blue.

This is the only example of the 205 in blue that I have encountered in many years. I seen three or four of the red 205M but only this example of the opposite configuration.

This one is completely original but has signs of being played with, quite a lot of paint missing on the body although the screens are intact and clean. The wheels are good and tyres may well be original too.

It is difficult to value something so rare. This is in my private collection and i do not know when or even if I'll be able to replace it. So the price asked may seem high but that's the cost of having it in your collection rather than mine!
