After playing on eBay and other Internet sits its clear thar there aren't any m series models available. I understand that the market would be limited however the other TVR models are available.

Are there any sites that I haven't checked? Or is it just a case of buying from m series enthusiasts?

Spark TVR Taimar 1978 - Silver/Red 1:43

Be aware, however, that Spark tend to advertise these "future" models without any firm commitment to actually producing them!

Yep.

clicky


Spark have been listing the Taimar as "future production" for about a year, guess it will arrive one day ?

Couple of other reputable websites

www.grandprixmodels.com they take advance orders whereas www.racingmodels.co.uk don't tend to show models on their website until they have them in stock to sell.

A search for "TVR" on the Grand Prix Models website shows pretty much all the 1/43 TVR models that are available.

I have the Spark Grantura road car, Le Mans Grantura, 1960's Tuscan V8 and some of the later 1990's/2000's period cars (Cerbera, Tuscan Mk1, Tamora, T350T, T440 & Sagaris) and they are well modelled, except the Tamora which, to my eyes, looks a bit wonky.

There is an "Autosculpt" pewter-look (acutally resin/aluminium powder mixture) 1/32 model Vixen S2 available on eBay.

Mods - I see the logic of moving this but I'd never have found it under scale models and I suspect most of the TVR types interested in it wouldn't either.

Any chance of it going back?

Not logical at all. This topic has been divorced from it's target audience. Why? confused
