Hi there

Looking for fairly particular models, not even sure they exist! Have tried to Google and eBay it, but some of the models look a little ropey and as a model novice not sure where else to look.

1. TVR, T350T or T350C (2005)
2. Bentley, 8 Litre (1931) - preferably an open bodied model
3. Lancia, Flaminia Zagato (1959 onwards)
4. Invicta, S Type (1930 onwards)

Any help in locating these would be great. The more detailed the better!

A company called Autotorque make a model of the Invicta, there are a few on ebay.

Hi there,
The only TVR 'T series' cars available are in 1/43 from Spark, they are withdrawn but do turn up from time to time on Ebay etc. They did a T350C in Pearl Green, a T350T in Met. Grey with carbon roof panels and a T350T in Pearl Yellow with targa panels open.

You don't say which scale you seek. 1:43 is approx 4" long and 1:18 is about 12".

Flaminia Zagato by Norev is 1:43 and plenty are on ebay. Tick the worldwide box to expand the number on offer.

Typing each model into the ebay search box then add either 43 or 18 may bring up what is available out there.

Spark T350T in 1:43 tends to be rare but persistence, patience and regular visits on ebay will usually work.

I agree, I've been looking for one for a while (to complete my set of TVRs that I've owned). Managed to pick one up on eBay this week for £28. So the trick is be patient and keep looking!
