It's true!
Official from Hornby, who own Pocher!
A 'new' kit is being announced at Nuremberg at the end of January.
Check out the link on the Hornby Spain website...

This post reminded me that some years ago I bought a Pocher Testarossa kit at a closing down sale for a few 10's of pounds. I put it in the Attic but it remained an issue with the Wife who maintained it was an example of me wasting money. So about 7 years ago I gave it away to a village fete in order to maintain the peace, who probably sold it to a child for a few pounds. I've just been online and realised what these kits are worthCrying Crying Crying . As the saying goes 'Fools and their Money(Toys)'Cursing Cursing Cursing

Crying About 5-6 years ago I had a nicely built (if I say so myself) Pocher Alfa Monza.
I was a bit 'tight for money' due to a previous marriage break up and sold it on E-Bay. I think I got around £50......Crying

Ouch.

It was the Ferrari Testarossa kit, they had a Bugatti kit in the sale as well, which I nearly bought as well, but that would have probably ended up in the same place. Crying

How is it the same post when your link is to Hornby Espania Confused

The official launch is the 30th Jan, so likely no news until then..

Yes - my link is to the Espania page, but my message also goes on to say 'click the Pocher link' etc.... which takes you to the same thing you posted.
No worries though - I just hope they release something affordable....

I don't mind a re-boot, as long as it's one of the 'originals' with proper wire wheels - not the later ones with plastic wheels (which sadly, is more likely due to costs)
If it's something completely new, let's hope it's still 'Pocher' level - ie: THOUSANDS of parts....... (but not mental-money)
