Ebay refunded my buyer direct, so neither of us are financially out of pocket, just not happy that this model has now disappeared. I will also be keeping an eye on eBay for this cat, it is quite distinctive in how it ha been put together with an original Speedo etc. i had hoped GSP would help me and any overseas buyers to have a good experience, but I am considering pulling my other/future items from GSP.

I had the same thing with a rere Hotshot dressed as a Super Shot only a week or so ago. Sold it on eBay to a nice chap in Australia using GSP, and I got the following a few days after it arrived at the UK GSP shipping centre ‘The item in question has been classified as restricted. This could be due to import/delivery restrictions or eligibility requirements within the Global Shipping Programme. The item will not be sent on to its final destination and will not be returned to you.’ Go figure. Was just a rolling chassis, no batteries or anything. Buyer was not happy, neither was I

Looks like parts from a three speed kit, possibly one of the Highlifts if not it will be one of the Tractor Truck series.

Now showing as 369 for preorder - still too expensive 😞

https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?search=1&search_string=Optima suggestion is end March, but £399.99 is pretty steep

Check out the latest Tamico offer, valid til end Sunday I think. Even with postage to UK still prob cheaper than a uk sourced kit. https://tamico.de/navi.php?a=9759&lang=eng

One set of those rere vanquish wheels are not shiny white anymore! I love ‘cooking’ with rit dye

Tamiyaclub new sponsor tamico.de has two sets in stock. Part code can be either 9400480 or 19400480 tamico.de will ship internationally but not sure they ship to every company

Welcome Tamico, I am pleased to see a new sponsor. I have used Tamico for a number of years, on more occasions than I dare tell the wife. I have used them for small specific part orders, as well large kit orders. Packing and delivery times have always been excellent, and they are part of my daily list of 'goto sites', especially on a Monday when there is a new offer off the week!
