Or do you quite owning the only one in existence?

All the best,
Andrew.

I own the ip and there will be only one.

Fair enough.

All the best,

Looks like you're going to have to shop on the crappy replica thread for your new Fiero/Ferrari.

There's only one Mona Lisa so why duplicate the P 4/5?

JG, what is on schedule for the first quarter of 2010 for P4/5? I am hoping to see the car one more time before I leavve the country.

Heck no, it's scandalous to put Ferrari badging on a Fiero.

As for duplicating the P4/5, I was just curious as to whether Jim would order another one made another one is someone wanted one, or if he was happier having the only one in existence - it seems the answer is it will be a one-off. Nothing wrong with that... though, I can imagine the rush of bidders if (in the unlikely event) he ever decides to sell the car or the rights.

All the best,
Andrew.

Jim why not just go ahead and license a model? You know we would all kill for one.
I know you were talking a while back something was in the works- did anything ever come of it?

Jim, Marcel, and Luigi all in one. To make it for private individual work is another thing.

Would you go after someone who painted a picture of your car?? If they are producing the model in large numbers I can see your point. If they are only making a few than Jim would be spending money on a lost cause, although he could maybe make life hard for them until the case was over. Not sure if it would do anything if the company were in south Asia or China.

Have they ever contacted you at all??

I did hear of a case with limited production(very limited) models being considered art like a painting by the courts. Not sure how many he produces, but he should have atleast contacted you. Your not hard to find!!

If you do get mad enough to do something I would really like the hear the outcome of the case, especially if the case is against a company in Asia. My guess is most of the sales are outside the USA.
