I paid about the same in Helsinki 2 years ago. Now I can admire it all
time, because it sits straight on my computer monitor aside with a
"Spot-on" model (by Triang) from early 60's.
That Spot-on was the reason to buy a real Alpine, but I once told that story...
The scale in both is 1:43, which is very usual in metal models.
