WOW! That is amazing! You could almost use that as an example for your own restoration.

For that kind of money though I'll wait a few years and get the one that has little mice up in the headlining, dents in the panel and lots of questionable repairs.

I wonder if they put a hitch on it, do they go ahead and slam the tailgate down on the hitch to put that 'factory dent' in the tailgate?

that is great. and i've always wanted an 18" model of my 64 iia 88 softtop. i'd put in a rc gas motor and run it around my yard. i propably got this wrong but is it priced at $20?

I wondered that too but I think that since there are 3 zeros after the '.' then it is probably 15K. For $20 I would buy one.

Yeah, damn euros with their commas and decimal points all backwards. Amazing piece of work (art?), though. Makes the models I built when I was a kid look pretty sad...

to be honest, it would be pretty cool to see what one looks like after I tired of playing with it and had an M-80 sitting around. . .

They have a vid on youtube that shows in in the building process.

Give it 12 months and it will be a rusting heap, leaking oil all over you mantle piece and needed a rebuild with new bulkhead. "

Hilarious! Think he owns a series?

Do you think that he gets wee little skinned knuckles? For 15K Euros I could have a nice garage to put the ones I already have inside!

Amazing work!

I think that is pretty cool.

But it pales in comparison to this: (maybe some of you have seen it)

OK. Now that is amazing. Sounds like that's Jeremy Clarkson interviewing him.

It actually could be more that 15k USD given the exchange rate at any given time....

1:1 is a possibility!

All that work and they make it LHD????

Ooops, just checked, you can get it RHD but it costs 2000 Euros more!

It is obviously not authentic as it is not marking its territory as far as I can tell.

Seriously, though, that is amazing model making. Hats off to the craftsmen or women.

You really could use one to guide you in a restoration.

At 15000 Euros base price I can't imagine they are going to sell many but you never know, it is impressive craftsmanship.

Sweet Lord that is amazing! But anyone with that much skill could just as easily have made a full sized one in all that time!
