Porsche 550 model (1/43 scale)

[Ferry Man]

Here we have a 1/43 scale, metal model of a 550 Spyder up for auction for a worthy cause.
This was gifted to a journalist by the Porsche Museum and is unused.
Please be aware that the outer packaging is creased but the model (within a crystal plastic display box) is unmarked.

It's model of the Porsche 550 Spyder campaigned by Hans Herrmann in the 1954 Mexican Carrera Panamerica race.

Kindly bid to secure this model and all proceeds will go the DDK chosen charity.
I will cover costs for packing & next-day delivery charges anywhere in mainland UK.
The winning bidder can make their donation direct to Macmillan via the Just Giving website: http://www.justgiving.com/ddk10kfor10years

The highest bidder at 10.00pm Monday 13th August wins.
Be generous, it's for charity.

Apologies, I didn't include anything in the photographs for scale but the model is approximately 85mm long. But then a 550 is a small car...

£30 from me...

Donation of £30 made, total is now over £3000 which is great in such a short time.

Paul if you are going to Hedingham I'll collect the model from you there?

Yes, a wonderful total and (without wanting to steal anybody's thunder) the total will rise significantly again very soon

Thanks everybody
