Resin: 300 Euros: Limited 999 pieces: Available now
The car, not the model, is so awful (lacking any good taste or subtlety), it might just be sort of cool!! I think it originally belonged to Delores del R?o.

I'm on the fence with this model [PIC] only because I have a similar Saoutchik Caddy, diecast, in 1/24 scale...
with a much tasteful color combo I might add.
However, this Minichamps image is so over the top, I might still pull the trigger.

From memory, there were only two made - yours is the conservative one!
It's the colour of the Minichamps' version that's totally off putting to me for a 1:1. Having said that, as a model, it's not a deal breaker and it is very eye catching, You should go for it, Rich.
