A local place had a real one (red/white) for sale on consignment about a year ago for $110K, if I recall. It was just about perfect. I don't know if/when it was actually sold.

$110k, I actually I believe it

Now that was a very TheDon-esque thing to do.

what you should have done is take it out in the driveway,get down on the ground and take a pic.i did this with a jeep and my girlfriends daughter sweared to god it was a real jeep.until i showed her the model.

lol I was about to say the focus completely missed..

I need a LWB w126 die cast

There damn hard to find if anyone makes them. The only ones I can find are the 1:43 scale ones that Mercedes sells in the classic catalog. I prefer 1:18 scale.

yeah I know.. I've got some DMC-12 die casts that are 1:18th and they are nice

I have a W220 and a Mark III Range Rover in 1:18. I have a discovery and an SL in 1:43....again, the 1:18's take up a lot of space but they really do look good

The 1:1 scale DMC-12 I had took up a lot of space.. and money

I thought you made out on that deal when you sold it?

I did.. but anything full scale is expensive and takes up a lot of space.My friend has to double stack his collection in his garage. lol
