One for the collector.

Not for me, wrong model and colour, but just wondering about the price, too much or about right.

It looks to have 911 door mirrors

Just before this model was released I had a Newsletter from Spark, babbling on about how they pride themselves on getting every minute detail right and the hours of research that go into producing every new model....... then this appears with some dodgey 5 stud wheels

The mirrors and exhaust tips are wrong too. And the front side indicator repeaters look too far up to me. Drilled discs weren't standard either.

It's a very good effort really, but not 'every minute detail' is correct.

This is what I want. I'd love to know who makes them

That's a lot for a Spark 1:43 model, but once popular cars go out of production prices can go anywhere!


£50 - £60 is about normal for new releases, and old stuff dealers can't shift often cheaper.

TVR Griffith

TVR Wedge

So these models are mostly resin, would a white metal edition be more or less?

Got me interested now especially in a Griff'.

I am not really into models but very pleased with a Cerbera from these guys. They do other TVR models. And are made in the UK.

Funnily I emailed them yesterday about their cerbera kit. They may make some next year so I've asked to be kept informed. They haven't any in stock

Those are the TVR Le Mans wheels from the first Tuscan. I have them fitted on my 500 and drilled discs,not by the factory though,maybe they copied my Car !! The Mirrors look like the VW Corrado mirrors which some people fitted to replace the Citroen mirrors,Jellison for one on his LS engined Chimaera.

Not square enough for Corrado mirrors
