V6 model kit

As of today, I have 10 firm orders with a deposit, including mine. I initially had 20 people, most from this forum wanting a kit.
The model maker wanted 15 before starting to make the kits.

The French Laverda club will be taking some but hasn't confirmed yet.

We'll have to wait some more. If we don't get to the 15 initially asked for, I'll contact the model maker and see if we can go ahead notwithstanding.

Haven't you got a friend who uses Paypal Otto?
If you really cannot do otherwise, I'll send you my private bank details by PM and I'll transfer to the paypal account.

Even a 10x increase in value would not fund my retirement. Wouldn't even pay for a months red wine. :unsure: 🍷🍷🍷🍷

I just canceled my monthly home delivered red wine subscription. Although red, there is an increase on wishy washy reds.

I liken it to skim milk, just watered down real milk.

So my local bottleshop has given me a flat rate of my usual Cab Sav, for six months. God bless their cotton socks.

Funny thing is I drive past Penfolds almost every week, but driving a B triple road train to the cellar door may not be appreciated 🙄

Hey Paul, had you thought to contact the Laverda Museum. They may well be interested in stocking models for sale to visitors.

It's an idea, but not for me. I'll pass the idea on to the model maker who I'll contact again in the coming days.
There are now 11 deposits. Enough to get the ball rolling no doubt?

Was just a thought that crossed my mind. Museum would be looking at ways to keep cash coming in and the increase in numbers may have dropped your cost. They may even be interested in models of other bikes.

Very likely that some are already looking into cashing in on a private initiative.
:)
I will however suggest it to the maker.

I've just had news from the French Laverda Club. I'll shortly be receiving 6 down payments from them which brings the tally to 17.
As soon as the money is safely on the paypal account, I shall contact Luciano the kit maker to get the ball rolling. I'll confirm.
Then, it'll be about 9 months until the kits are ready and we'll see about total payment and shipment.

Watch this space.

For those who've produced a down payment, 19 kits in all, the money was transferred to Luciano Brach, the kit maker today.
Luciano has promised to keep me informed and produce photos as the project develops. I shall of course forwards the information here.

For reminders: the date initially indicated for completion was mid July. Total price for the pre-ordered kit was indicated as €250 + shipping, with €270 for sale to the general public.
We'll see how we finalise payment and arrange shipment as the date nears and according to how Luciano sees things.
