    OK guys/gals this shipment of cars is Heritage Green only, Biante fully intend to produce the two other colors.
    However, they must receive 400 more orders for cars for this to happen.
    If production target is not met, I don't think they will do the EB GT.
    I have ordered all 3 colors, the young lady I was dealing with, calmly announced they were only doing Heritage Green cars, I persisted & told her to apply for all 3 colors.
    Be firm with your local supplier/retailer, other colors will happen if your local Biante Dealer, places an order.
    Greg.

    As for wrong color on the original prototype, you had better speak to the owner of the original cars, that spent at least 4 days of his time, fuel, detailing duties, about what color he preferred.
    It's not my fault said owner couldn't find a red one.............

    The car I found nobody wanted, Heritage Green, no kilometres, sitting in a dealer showroom, plastic on the seats, plastic on the door trims, travel documents still on the window, 2 years old.
    The last EL GT ever sold, I said to myself "yep, I will grab that one"

    Fair enough. Some of us had to take what we found, warts and all. But it's fun nursing it back to 100%.

    Good news EL series GT fans, the Heritage Green car has sold out, another production run is scheduled, all colors will be produced.
    I cannot give you anymore details, as I am sworn to secrecy.
    Even better news, Biante are very happy with the way the resin model EL GT has been accepted, with other resin model GT's being considered for manufacture.

    I've heard nothing but disappointment with the quality of these. Anyone got any decent pictures of one?

    I have heard of one complaint, off side drivers mirror fell off, but was re installed by a local Biante Dealer.
    Can you elaborate, so I can pass it on?

    It was general disappointment at the feel of it, felt cheap, and was overpriced for a resin model. (Although price seems consistent with others) a few mentioned the shape of the taillights wasn't right.

    I haven't seen one in the flesh, and the only pics I've seen weren't great so it's hard for me to judge.

    I'll see if I can find the thread and do some copy pasto work.
