  • Model MC?

    Hi Guys,

    Any idea where I can buy a model MC? Saw one on ebay several weeks ago before I got the real thing.

    Done a search on the t'internet but not been succesfull so far.

    Want one for the mantel piece or window bottom, yes, I know it's sad...

    Got mine off ebay, cost about £40.

    They come up pretty regularly, though colours like estoril are hard to get.
    99T Estoril Blue, Sunroof, HK Speakers, Cruise
    Read my M Coupe experience @ Auto-Journals.com

      The models are made by UT & they turn up on ebay regularly enough.
      I tried for a silver one - silver was a dealer special and not produced in the numbers that the other colours were. As a result I was out bid on one.
      It went for over £100 ..... :shock:

        I've got two - first one came from the local dealership, a small one - metal, I believe, still in the perspex case. The second one is a Revell plastic kit, which looks not bad. [well, apart from bits falling off from time to time]

            Blimey - I remember Exdos saying they were a lot but I didn't realise that much.

            My common as muck EB one was from swap-meet models and cost 15.00 pounds ish as I bought 3.

              Exdos got a bargain silver model for £20 ish, but the silver's are now very, very rare.
              I got carried away bidding for one, lost my nerve at £100 (or rather Mrs T caught me bidding "How f***ing much, on a toy?") !!! :mrgreen:
              Would love one though ..... :-(

                              So, has anyone found one yet, or does anybody wish to sell, swap-meet models don't have any left.
                              I don't mind what colour the exterior is, as long as the interior is black, will be getting my tin of Phoenix yellow spray out, and a lot of masking tape.
