a model or two!!!!!!!!!

[dicky]

no not the knind you find in a swim suit but the model car kind. Surfing tonight and found this site that has loads of TVR models on it. Some of you may find it useful


http://www.modelcarsdirect.co.uk

Not a bad site, but still prefer www.carinabox.com

[mad mark]

Never seen anyone who does the earlier models, would be a bit of a market if they did though I suppose..

Wedges, Chim, S Series, Cerby -- I've never seen any of those about?! Never mind earlier on than that..

The only Cerb that is available is the Speed 12, but suppose that doesn't really count

A bit dear aren't they? £67.50 for a 1/43 scale model, when you can get 1/18 scale models of the newer cars for around £20.

Given that the Chim was the best selling TVR, I'm really surprised that there aren't more models available.

£67 is fully built & to your own choice colour (it's 1/24th though).....

Where can models of the TVR dark horse, the Tamora, be found?

www.sparkmodel.com/our_range/our_range_index.html


Tuscan in 1/18th

Sagaris in 1/18th

Looks like the Tamora Mk1. Guess I'll have to make due with my real Tamora Mk2...

smtsmodels catalogue said:

The precision model cars listed in this catalogue are manufactured from white meal with resin, photo-etched and plated parts to form 1:43 scale collectors cars. All are individually hand built and finished in authentic colours and decals. Models are also available in kit form, ready to paint and assemble. 1:24 scale models are listed separately.

So £67 buys you a titchy 1/43 scale model TVR

Erm.....

Looks like I didn't read it properly then(always been my problem !)

[webmistress]

Re. model Tamoras: Spark Models do both the Mk1 (yellow) and Mk2 (red) www.sparkmodel.com/our_range/our_range_index.html

(The chap in the shop at Brands Hatch where mine came from hadn't noticed there was a difference!)

You beat me too it. I`ve bought one of these models from SMTS, I`m currently building it myself so that it is a exact replica of my car.
