As my birthday is coming shortly, I was planning to treat myself to this model as it fits in nicely with my collection theme of heroic failures/awful F1 cars.

Before Christmas it was the standard Spark price at most places on the net of £59.99 plus P+P.

It is now £189.00!!!! . yikes

I mean I know about the rules of supply and demand, pricing to the market & if you snooze you, you lose but this seems a crazy amount of mark up in a week. If anyone can point me in the direction of somewhere it is the old price I would appreciate it. If not I'll guess I'll just have to wait for the long promised Spark Andrea Moda..

Not in stock, but I think you can still order it with a 4-6 week lead time.

Thanks for that I shall give them a go. I couldn't find it on their site earlier but I will email them first to see if the price is set once I have ordered. I want the car and I probably wouldn't mind paying £80.00 but £189.00 just can't be justified.

Cheers! thumbup

These guys have now been told there will be no further stock so my order has been cancelled. frown . Going to try GPM but this is not looking good.
