As stated the car has actually been bought by the TCE and is now owned by the TCE. It will be subsequently resold in the exciting new category we are setting up 1:! vintage cars.
Cheers,
Sid

What good is a car you can only drive in the driveway?

Can't wait to see the new category. This should be interesting and a lot of fun. All at no reserve right Lol.

Would love to see the TV series Batmobile in the new 1:1 real cars category!

Cool Score Sid!! Buicks like that are just iconic!! There is more chrome on one bumper than most have on a whole car!! Looking forward to the new 1:1 Auction site!

Congrats!

Toy Cars for Exchange on all scales ... Grand Idea Sid.

Will you get to take this Grail for a spin around the block ...

Also curious if a new discussion forum will be invented so that we dont get confused with the 1:64 scale toy cars.

1) The car is stored at Mario's place in California but yes we intend to take it for a spin before it is sold.

2) Yes, as we roll out the new category new forums will be added for real cars! Enough of us enjoy real vintage cars that it will warrant a separate forum.
