Yes - over double the price I've ever paid for a model previously or probably ever will again ..... but I couldn't resist his Peugeot 504 Break Riviera last month - he has a page on ebay so cashed in a huge bucketload of accumulated Nectar/ebay points and haggled a 10 euro reduction by Make-an-offer. And it's beautiful.

Nice, but so expensive

Also this Paris-based 1:43 model maker with a Peugeot focus - US spec 504s and 604s, with a 504 US yellow taxi saloon

I'm not sure how they got it into the US with the import restrictions. It's not 25yo, so I would imagine it's either had to be modified to meet emissions and safety laws or it's on a limited "show" registration.

You compare a car already in New York and already registered there, maybe the only one there, with cars here in Europe that may be quite difficult/annoying to register.
I do not know how they did for that one though, but on forum-auto (where I found the link) they say that the car was already compliant with US specs (DRL, miles odometer, ...) in case Citroën wanted to make a comeback.

But much too heavy and pompous, you'd look like Charles de Gaulle driving it.
Why not?
