Hi,
I've got two of them, two locost versions.
One red Ferrari Testarossa and one white Ferrari Testarossa Spider.
I've build them 15 years ago, and still got them.
I thougt, that Pocher has stopped building models?
cheers-JP

pocher models went out of business a number of years ago, which is why kits go for such a lot of money.
they are very detailed for examples
the Rolls-Royce Phantom II chassis Short type Continental Tourer with drop head Sedanca Coupe body. This wonderful model has been made upon the
original drawings which were kindly supplied by courtesy of Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd. and thanks to the collaboration of the owner of the prototype who
is also a model enthusiast. The model consists of 2199 pieces divided in 454 high impact plastic parts, 1059 brass parts, 430 stainless parts, 256
other different materials parts (steel, copper, rubber and so on).
Some of the most important characteristics are:
1) The steering is operating.
2) The brake pedal operates on the four wheels, the hand brake is independent and operates on separate brake shoes on the rear wheels.
3) Suspensions are in lined steel and perfectly efficient.
4) Headlamps are lit from dashboard.
5) The drop head hood can be opened.
6) The lateral glasses can be opened turning the handles.
7) The bonnet and the luggage rack can be opened.
8) Crankshaft with connecting rods, pistons and gudgeon pins operating by turning the starting handle. At the same time by means of V belts and
gears, the fan, generator and magnet are also operated.
The windows even roll up and down by turning the handles! From spoked wheels you get to put together to leather upholstery, this model kit is
absolutely amazing!

no locost because you can build a real car for less than these models

Bl**dy h**l, you could build a fair Locost for those prices.  Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
