I had to splurge on Carrera's European only release. Ever since I saw the pics from the Nurnberg show I had to have one. I was just one of those cars that draws you in. Like a few people I was disappointed to find out later that it was to be a Euro only release which means almost a 50% increase in price but that's including shipping. That being said it is everything I expected. The paint is beautiful.

Would love to see that same livery in 1/32 and state side as that is NICE!!! :D

That scheme even makes that car look good.

Nice score.

That looks fantastic.
dw5555- What vendor did you buy that through? (you can mention any site in this forum, in case you're wondering if it's permitted)

It's hard to believe that a Gulf livery wouldn't be a world-wide release. They always sell, regardless of what car it is. I like this Porsche, but all D124 liveries that have been released in the US so far just aren't my style. However, I do have the soon to be released gummi-bear car on order. :D

The car looks beautiful! I would also like to know the vendor since I plan on getting one.

Best regards,

I guess Carrera has licensing issues with Gulf(?) so it can't be produced here. Too bad, I think it would sell well here. I found the car with several retailers overseas but communications were an issue.

That being said in a round about way I bought it off our (US) eBay. I happened to notice a retailer from Germany selling all brands of slots (but not this car) so I emailed him asking if he had this car and he did. Maybe the same licensing issues keeps him from listing the car so I had to purchase the car outside of eBay with a PayPal payment to him personally. :think: I was having 2nd thoughts but went through with it. 12 days later the car arrived. :D It's funny how you throw caution to the wind when you really want something..

Search Ebay for sellers: Slotcar143
remember the car is not listed on eBay, you will have to send him a message. His name is "Jens"

By the way the car was 92 Euros ($105) shipped to the house.

Nice job Dave, you stated that was on your want list from the beginning...and you could be racing it next Wednesday...

Stop cutting grass for an evening...

It's us. Gulf's licenses are the issue. We do licensing... on EVERYTHING. If you see other companies doing Gulf colors here it's likely that it's unlicensed.
