I keep meaning to get a display case for mine; at that price it will be a good investment to protect it!
Though the original model is only €60 from Ottomobile, pre-order for November https://club-ottomobile.com/en/21-november .
And I've just noticed that is Green now! Might be a black one for sale soon...……

I couldn't resist, works out at about £70 including shipping from France.

Note that Ottomobile OT082 is the original black model, OT916 the latest green one, I've no idea if there are any others (apart from the white V10 - OT699).
You have to join Club Otto to pre-order, I think you can do that online now, it used to be by post to join!

Incidentally I've realised the answer to this earlier conundrum:

There are now separate logins (and web sites) for Ottomobile (selling current stock) and Club Otto (pre-orders and priority ordering) - I think they rejigged and split the web sites a few years back. I now have the same username/email on both but different passwords!

I would be very interested in it if you decide to sell it. I want a black one to match my car.

Ooh! + 1 in that case, as this is a proper "Ronin" one

I think shipping from UK to US might be prohibitive though...….. though it does have the steering wheel on the "wrong" side (for me).

So have you ordered one as well?
Though it's not a "Ronin" as it's facelift. And probably the wrong shade of green as well.
