Very nice. It's saddening that Neo are no longer around. Their models were top drawer at reasonable prices and they made some really interesting subjects, these 2 Zags are fine examples of this.

Some time ago I think Julio
I keep looking at that red/black Zagato but its not the easiest on my eyes and i’m thinking i’d be leaning towards completist mode rather than aesthetics which is a dangerous path to head down.

Well this was a lovely surprise when i got home this evening. During my ebay searches for interesting Zagato models i came across this Neo Maserati Granturismo Zagato. It's long since sold out everywhere and i could only see 1 on ebay and that was located in Brazil and the seller wanted £185 + £30 shipping + import duties/taxes to the UK. Far far too expensive. So i hit Google search and located one other model on another selling site - Todocoleccion. I have never bought from there before but the one i found was in Spain and listed for under EUR50 + postage to the UK. The seller was prepared to accept Paypal so i took a gamble and placed the order. One week later the seller got in touch to say he had been unable to locate the model he had advertised for sale and he could see it was a very much desired model. He refunded me but it left a sour taste in my mouth. So i hit google search again and located what i think might well have been the only other one available on the internet. This was located in a model shop in Slovakia! The price was very attractive though - the original selling price of EUR39.95 from when they were first on sale. A quick search of the model shops website also located a Spark Aston Martin Vantage Volante Zagato for a very reasonable EUR45 - again, the original selling price from when that was first on sale. I already have that model in a different colour but couldn't turn it down given what they sell for second hand. Without much optimism i contacted the model shop via email and they said they would sell to the UK, postage was EUR22 tracked, but they only accepted bank transfers - no credit card, no paypal option. With no possible recourse if it went pear shaped, i mulled it over for 24 hours and then took the gamble and placed the order and transferred the money. A few days later the shop got in touch to say they had forgotten that the UK was no longer in the EU, and they only sold to EU countries and would i like a refund? I told them i was still very keen on the models and asked them to double check whether they would post to the UK. 48 hours later they confirmed they had been posted and both models in immaculate new condition and very securely packaged were waiting for me this evening. Kudos to NajModely in Slovakia. I would certainly consider buying from them again.

Great find and buy Pau! Here is my 1957 Jaguar XK150 SE Zagato Coupe by Rialto. I've since cured the sagging front bumper.
