Wish they'd do that one in 1/32.

I wish they would do a 1/32nd version too. It is so distinctive with that one off Drogo
bodywork. Trouble is, there is only one proper livery, Ferrari Rosso Chiaro.

I'll raise my hand for a third vote for a 1/32 version.

This very much reminds me of my favorite T-Jet, the red and black Ford J:

I don't mind fantasy liveries as long as they look good on the car, and this Carrera release looks great!

Fantasy liveries are fine if they are period correct. This one is a little too "billboardy" for
my taste. According to the person who maintained the car while Joe Marchetti owned it, it
had been fly yellow and silver at different times in it's past. One thing I can tell you which will
help explain why there was only one. You can't see squat out the rear of the car. And the left
side mirror is blocked by the windshield post, so the only way to use it is to lean to the right. I
like to see what is coming up behind me so I don't move into his path.

I like it. I still am stunned the breadvan was made, in any scale.

Besides, 1/24 should be allowed to have a few exclusive cars.

hehe...get it? Exclusiv...hehe...never mind. I'll be here all week, try the veal.

Hi there from Carrera.
Just a few things on the Breadvan:
this is in fact a real livery, international known playboy Gunter Sachs, once married to Brigitte Bardot, drove this car on the french mediterranean roads until he ran into "le Flic" during that time.
There are four possible main colors: Rosso Scuderia, the more dark red like we feature on the 330P4, the red/black livery above and the silver hillclimb-decoration.
