Renato, you need to tell us desperate De Soto fans a bit more than that!!!

Where did this suddenly appear from? I still don't see anyone offering it online - not even from China. And oh dear, what happened to the front and rear window frames? Did it get knocked around badly in the post? Or just poor assembly?

Please enlighten us.

Ah, OK. Not very clever of them to show it in that condition, though!

Where did the images come from, by the way?

I checked out Kess models on the net and found their site. See kessmodels.it

Lots of pictures but nothing that made me rush into an order. Lots of internatinal contacts for sales on ebay. I didn't see anything that excited me.

[PIC] Yes, I found it. Hong Kong eBay seller.

Also offering the green version, apparently with intact window frames.

Must have got hold of some early examples - or factory rejects? Doesn't say how many are available in the auction.
Delivery date mid-August to late September.

Personally I wouldn't risk buying one from this seller (even if they do seem to have a 100% record) for fear of getting a defective specimen that they might not be in a position to replace with a better one. But if Kess have finally managed to get them assembled and into boxes, there is some hope.

I may even get one for Christmas.

Labled as a 4 door hardtop but looks more like a 4 door sedan to me (EOM)
