What better
gift could there be for the birthday of the Twingo lover in your
life than a hand-built scale model of their very own Twingo?
These fantastic
models of TCGB's resident Initiales Leïla and Almo
began life as normal 1:43-scale Vitesse models before being disassembled,
painted in the actual Renault Amande Métalisée
colour and expertly re-built by hand.
Models are made
by Michael Terzan of the German club Renault Space Car, a keen part-time
modeller. All plastic components are removed and the bare shell
professionally sprayed in genuine Renault paint before the model
is re-assembled and your Twingos actual number plate added as the
finishing touch.
Once a suitable
'donor model' is found (both Vitesse and Solido no longer produce
these ranges), works take approximately three weeks to complete.
In order to
pepare your model, the following are needed:
- Photographs
of your Twingo showing your number plates.
- Written confirmation
of the registration number and actual Renault paint and interior
colours
- Confirmation
of whether you have a factory-fitted canvas sunroof, factory-fitted
full-length glass sunroof or no sunroof.
- Your Twingo
must be in a standard Renault colour, custom jobs cannot be accommodated.
Your own unique
hand-painted, hand-built souvenir 1:43-scale Twingo
could be yours for just €50 (approximately £35) plus
postage/packaging. 1:18-scale models can be made for €75, but
these models are becoming rare so it may take longer to acquire
the base model. For more information, contact Michael via Renault
Space Car.
