When I see those come up for sale they're usually right around $50. I don't have one in my collection (yet). I have passed up many a nice one without the doors, and a few with the doors that I felt were overpriced.

There's a number of these Lesney No. 34B Volkswagen caravans on eBay at any given time. Check completed auctions to get an idea what they're fetching.

Here's a few that I've collected from Eb@y over the past few years. I don't racall paying more than $10 for any of them, but they didn't come with boxes.

This is a seldom seen 1:87 version of Herbie that was given out with the purchase of the "Fully Loaded" DVD. I didn't buy the DVD, but the girl at the counter let me have the toy anyway. It's remarkably detailed, but I'm not going to open the box to take any pics. It's sitting on my Hazet tool kit in the pic for the sake of perspective.

Nice score on the Herbie bug.

I found over 300 of Matchbox in the gallery https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_search.php?search_keywords=Matchbox&show_results=summary
