I have been waiting for someone to finally come out with a Stevens Esprit 1:18 diecast model. At last it is here! Now, which color should I get? Im torn between them. The interior detail looks awesome!

Shame there is no white.

Technically that's not a Stevens Esprit, but a Julian Thomson design. (1993 S4 onwards) Pedantic, me?
Although, technically the Stevens design is a Spooner design while Stevens happened to be in the same room...

Anyway, I thought Autoart has had this one available for a while now?

I have to admit, you did get me on the design aspect. Shame on me for carrying the name I do and misinterpreting that little fact! I did know, I just wrote the wrong man! LOL

To be honest, Autoart I know has had 1:43rd die cast models of the V8 Esprit, however I stopped searching for 1:18 scale about 4 years ago. So they may very well have been available unbeknownst to me

Anyhow, two points to you for the correction! And 2 belt whipping to me for my mistake.

Go for red or yellow, I have the 1/43rd in BRG metallic & it doesnt show the lines.

Yellow would be my choice.
