After a few successful years sales began to decline, and after failing to put any of its prototypes of larger cars into production, the company eventually could not escape bankruptcy. The German company Saller of Kaufbeuren produces 1:87 scale models of the Kleinschnittger F 125 made of pewter.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

That said, I'd buy a Grell version of this in a heartbeat! I do hope this winds up in their range eventually.
