And last but not least, a link from the 550 Spyder for sale here. Unfortunately, the previous owner disposed of this beautiful wooden plate on which the model once stood.

The doors and the hood cannot be opened. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
A few words about shipping, insured by express, the shipping will cost around 220 USD.
Many regards
Can you please confirm which components are made from resin and aluminum? Is it a sealed model, or do the doors and front/rear compartments open? Thanks.
