There is a lot of mystery surrounding this 1/3 scale model.  Or maybe one exactly like it.  Some info puts the year made at around 2007 and a price of $43,000.  One was auctioned at Christies for charity and was expected to bring in excess of $100,000.  Then there is the quanitity, some say 25 models were built, but the company that sells and made them and offfers them today for 38,821.97 says 100 will be built.

It was 3-d printed and for such an expensive model there is a dearth of operating features and I can't tell if it includes a detailed engine or drive train.  Here's a video of it's production.

All that aside, it is a gorgeous, accurate scale model of an iconic car.

Thanks Frank for this added info; I appreciate these back stories and clarifications.

 

Looks like something Marlowe Johnson would buy! 😀
