Do you have one, Max? If you have, what do you think of it? Nathalie told me about these last year, but I have not seen one myself yet. I am expecting them to be very good indeed.

I do not have this model but I am seriously thinking to buy one. I believe that this model is very fine and beautiful...

I think the Van Doren's are some of the best model builders around. I used to own a CCC Voisin 28CV 12 Cylinder that was built by them and it was one of the finest models I have owned. I only sold it because I could not get it out of its box! (Its base was jammed in the bottom of the display box and the model might become damaged if I tried to free it)
I have a CCC kit of that Voisin instead, now, which Garage43 will build for me one day - but I still wish I had my Van Doren one...
A collector in Japan has some nice pictures of one: Green Dragon

Anyway, from the build quality and finish of my Voisin, I would not hesitate to buy one of their new Bugattis if I was interested in a T30. However, they are planning some model in the future that I will very definitely be buying!
