I have Revell's 230E and 240D in our bookshelves, both in 1:18 scale. This is probably a limited edition model so the price is much higher (I paid $40 per model on mine, the eBay link is asking $123 for just one).

Inspect before you buy!

The passenger door looks funky. I'll bet it's had body work done and a fresh coat of paint. LOL!

Last January at Cabin Fever Expo in York, PA, there was an exhibitor who had made a 1/6 scale model of an SJ Duesenberg, right down to a running 8 cylinder engine. He spent 20,000 hours on it, that should give some idea of what it's worth.

I got my 1:18 Revell avocado-green 240D a few years ago, from a vendor at the Carlisle PA import-car show & flea-market. I think it was about $35.

Happy Motoring, Mark

My avocado Revell 240D is your color. Just didn't know 'caladonia-green' was the official name.
The vendor only had the green 240D. Not the same color as my full-sized one, but I was still happy to find the 240D model. Maybe you can still find a green one from Revell or eBay.

Happy Motoring, Mark
