- Scalextric car
Not familiar with these at all. Big factor here is if the car has a specialty paint job or packaging exclusively just for this press kit. If not, new sealed Scalextric cars on Ebay.co.uk have recently sold for anywhere betwee 15 and 83 GBP.
- Drive 2 (PS1 game, European release)
New sealed copies of the European release are not as in demand as the U.S. release it seems. 80 GBP seems the top end price anyone has paid as of late.
- Driver 2 guide book.
Worth about as much as the postage apparently, let's call it 10 GBP.
The you have the Press kit box and press materials, all of which we're assuming only one hundred copies of were ever made, which sounds reasonable to assume. So again assuming that the Scalextric car isn't a unique varient I think the European & British collective market I think you may only be looking at something in the range of 400 - 600 GBP, if you catch the eye of the right buyer, that being a fan of the Driver franchise.
Now going back to that Scalextric, if that is something special and unique to these press kits, that blows that price range wide open. There is very clearly a large collector's market just for Scalextric vehicles, and I saw some wild sold prices for special edition vehicles when I was looking up what they were on Ebay a few minutes ago. If the car is something special you will very likely attract interest from hardcore Scalextric collector's, in which case the top end of this kit could perceivable go to 700 or more.
I'm not even factoring the U.S. or Canadian markets in on this price guessing as the shipping rates to send packages between European nations and North America have soared to levels far exceeding sane reasoning. So even with a clearly larger Driver fanbase in North America, the combination of the current monetary exchange rate and international shipping would stop most fans from even considering such a purchase.

Ty for a well written reply!
The things outside the presskit there(game+book) was just some free stuff added when i bought it, the box itself is sealed with the press disc ++ inside.
I paid under £300 for it a few years ago if i remember correctly on a fb auction but that was a bargain.
Always been tempted to open it to actually figure out the contents(but i wont) i have tried finding images of the contents.
