    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?

        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. . .

                  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. "

                      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!

                        Even the small ones are out of my price range!

                          I think that is pretty cool.

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



                          That is amazing.

                            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!
