Info required on Viper GTS Cup/Sculpture

[VENOM500]

Another random post from me, I just wondered if anyone had info on this rare Viper GTS Sculpture that sits on a Carbon Fibre Base.It was produced in 1998 in very limited numbers , maybe 10 or less, and presented by the Chrysler Corp.

pic taken the day before VENOM's pulley bust

now thats art, I want one. Although would I be correct in assuming a real viper would be cheaper? (and I cant afford one of them )

Followed by a press release from the donnington collection that they are missing one and reports of welsh ninja chickens being spotted in the vicinity prior to the incident.

I herd that the Birds got in to Donnington but some Cock set off the alarm, they turned Chicken and ran for it

[GTSDave]

I remember seeing that at Donnington a couple of years ago and being quite intrigued about it, can't remember what it was for now, I did get some shots of it at the time with some info, I'll have to try and dig them out...

I can possibly sort out either of the following if they are of interest? (I will have to find out if they are still available).

[GTSDave]

Very similar to this also...

[Dr-Bob]

Stick a seat in that Dave and you have your second viper...........

[VENOM500]

nice one Dave, Zurini is the sculpturer

[GTSDave]

Here's some of his other works... Looks likely to be in the region of £5,000 - £10,000 Not cheap I'm afraid Tom...

(Having said that those are Bronze's which are going to be pretty pricey on material alone)
