Try writing a letter to Stan, sorry, Santa and being good for the next five weeks

I'm always good
I look after my baby no end...surely that counts for something?
Does santa accept pm's?

I can send you one unpainted and ready to be assembled for £300. BBR. It would be £100 if you had used a better title. I'm sure you can find them for less if you have the patience.

I can alternatively send you a blue 'Polizia' liveried model by DeAgostino (very good model) for less.

Both models are 1:43.

Thanks for the hint...

You'll have to forgive my eagerness to draw attention to my request,especially as I'm trying to help the girlfriend source this gift.Admittedly it is for me but hey she asked me to help her..

Anyway.Thanks for your offer but I don't think she can afford what your offering

Were still looking online but to be honest,drawing a lot of blanks reference a broom yellow.Found a few,however,they're no longer produced,or not available

Will just keep looking.

I got the white Polizia markings off my model using nail polish remover - I guess that's one step closer.
I haven't seen a yellow model. You might need to repaint a blue one.

The bottom ones might be just within budget.

As a bit of a note, I'm looking to get some made up by Norev (with the 20vt wheels) as I want one but the Italian club isn't selling them anymore. I have to do a minimum order though, and they will come in a kit, UNpainted. If you want one, you'll be looking at around £35 for this + shipping (probably around £10). I haven't seen them in real life yet (I was saving up for a 1:1 model when these came out) but some people on here have them. If you are interested I can get a move on my planes, but really I need to sell 20 of them to get this price.

The Italian club did them for slightly less and they came painted and assembled, but they ordered something like 500 of them. My personal risk investment budget doesn't stretch as far.



Every now and again, one pops up on eBay, but it's almost always dark coloured ones.

Anyone who's interested, let me know. I was waiting until after New Year, but if I have some pre-orders...

Were you really looking for a 1:1 model, or did you mean 1:10 or 1:18?

And why not just respray your Coupe to match the model, then you won't have to wait so long...

I bought my 1:1 model in september 2010 Dave. Moon grey plus, registration 727-CCY.

PS - it's always possible to get a 1:12 model hand made by ABC Brianza. I didn't contact them personally (although I did get in touch with them about something else and bought some stuff off them) but someone in the business said we'd probably be looking at 1.5 million for 500 cars. I don't know whether Andrea (Carlo Brianza's son) would take orders for a one-off prototype, but I CAN tell the models are stunning and some of the best I've evereverever seen. They're crazy.

But with "1:1" models going for under € 1.000 I don't think many owners are interested.

I could never respray a broom yellow!!That would be sacrilege!

Well,I would only do it broom again..

Regards the Norev model Kayjey.I'm definately interested and have pm'd..

Ive got a Broom Yellow model coupe. Boxed and been in the loft since i purchased it from Auto Italia in Bristol a couple of years ago. It's as good as new and only sat on a shelf for a couple of months before we moved house.

From memory its similar size to an Iphone for reference..

I'll post up a picture to see if its what you are after.

Oooh oooh oooh!
YES PLEASE!

Keen to see the pics now.

I'll head up to the loft tonight and get some pictures posted up.

Ping me via a personal message if you dont see anything by around 9:00pm - i'll have forgotten if you don't see a post from me!

Thanks very much!
Much appreciated ,and will do bud.

If you happened to have bought two in a fit of euphoria/without the missus seeing put me down for the second

Back down from a rather cold loft.... Picture quality isn't great I'm afraid (Iphone specials)

Only the one im afraid!

Cheers rush!
Pm'd
Thanks for digging it out the loft!

That's the one I've got,the 1:43 Serie Oro which I bought from John Schneider at SpaItalia a couple of years ago. John's a Dutch member of this forum.

I'm damned if I can recall his forum name though.

I've also got the above model, which my ex boss brought back from his holiday in Italy for me

fastjjs

Unfortunately he hasn't been on the forum since 2009....

And a very nice model it is too, thanks for the short test drive last night, great to meet up again after all this time...

Glad we did! The last day needed some extra time at Joe's so only left his place around 8. Your car isn't too bad either Dave, it was fun having a go in it. And happy that I didn't break it... More elsewhere.
