Default Optima Mid Barn (shed) Find

So about 6 months ago my cousin and I are chatting about cars (as per usual) and I'm telling him how I'm enjoying being back into RC cars. He mentions that somewhere in his shed is a Kyosho Optima and if he can dig it out I could have it to have a look at and see if its any good. Well today he presented me with this little beaut:



All I know at the mo is that its an Optima Mid of some kind and the fact that it has a graphite chassis and top deck and UJ's at the front means its not just a basic Mid. Can any of you connoisseurs help identify it for me and possibly put a value to it? I'm going to fully strip and rebuild it and maybe even get it running for a few vintage heats. Here are some more pics plus I'll add more as I strip it down:







Thanks

Daz
