Here is the story of this cab:
A few weeks ago I had a mail from Ully, that he heard about a Pac and Paint cab for sale in Austria.
As it is a very hard to find Zaccaria and still missing from my collection, I started to interest.
He sent me pics also and the virus started to work inside me! ;D
Ully gave my email to the owner Alex and we made the deal.
The cab was located at Alex's friend's, Rico's tatoo studio near the german-dutch border at Übach-Palenberg.
I arranged shipping with the usual forwarding company, they told me they can pick it up on this Saturday.
On the same day (Thursday) afternoon I got a call from them, that they already picked up the cab, cause they had a truck nearby and they will be here with it on Friday afternoon. :o
So it was just a one day transport from Germany! ;D
The cab is in great condition and working, unfortunately the bezel is not original, it is for Phoenix/Quasar, but also in excellent cond..

Maybe it is so rare because years ago Alpha Electronic in Germany had dozens and dozens of Zaccaria cabs and many, many Pac&Paints among them. They had them until a huge part of their storage burned down to the ground...  :-[

there's a converted pac & paint on ebay.co.uk at the moment:

it comes with the original bezel!!! i'd ask the seller for the bezel only, this is a great chance to finish your cab, bela, don't know if this will ever come again, so go for it, my friend ...

Thanks Ully, it is fantastic that you found this! ;D
Unfortunately I can't place a bid on it, my location is excluded from shipping.
Sent a mail to the seller, fingers crossed.

If that's helping I SHOULD (fingers crossed too) be in UK this Saturday afternoon with a mercedes vito.
I'll be travelling from Folkestone to westbourne, Dorset and back.
I don't have a lot of time but if the seller can bring it somewhere on my way, I'd be happy to collect it and to bring it back on the other side of the big blue for you.
