Need help - 2001 FERRARI 456M GT Diecast

[direct-x]

Wondering if any of you motor vehicle buffs can recommend a place where I can get my hands on a FERRARI 456M GT diecast model?

It is for an upcoming 50th Birthday gift for my brother-in-law.

He finally got his Ferrari this summer, and I want to get him a model of it for the office.

I checked out some of the online dealers like Kyosho, etc, as well as Ebay, but I am unable to locate this particular model.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Theres a store in Yorkville in Toronto called Collectors Studio that will make a replica model of the car you want. Just show them a picture of your Brother-in-laws car and they will reproduce it with same colour/wheels and license plate.

Here is their website:

Be prepared to pay through the nose at CStudio....

Or pee kidneystones.. take your pick.

I was looking for a Pocher F40 in 1/8 but they were charging over 4 digits for one. I found one for $300 eventually, but sold it for $800 a year later.

Anyways, the only company that made (AFAIK) a 456M was Bburago, and they're pretty much garbage imo.

There are much better Ferrari models out there, but not of the 456M. Hotwheels makes an Elite line which isn't too bad, but for excellent detail BBR makes an Enzo and CMC has a 250SWB.

Here's a couple of sites to browse:

On a side note, CStudio is selling a 1/12 1996 McLaren F1 roadcar by Minichamps for $1250. Minichamps is re-issuing them later this year for about $450. Sucks to be whoever buys from CStudio.
