though I expect matchbox cars could be considered toys rather than scale models, I figured in here was the best place to ask...

I was wondering whether anyone on here knows where I can get a toy smart fortwo?

matchbox sixe would be ideal, but a little bigger (1/18th scale is?) is good too.

the only one i can find is the minichamps one at a hefty £55... i was hoping for a bit cheaper

thanks,

Tom

Quite a few on a popular auction site, ranging from 1:43 (which is larger than Matchbox size) down to some cheap ones that appear to come from Kinder eggs (but actually look quite good in the pictures).

I'd recommend a search in 'Toys & Games' on eBay and see what you come up with.

thanks for the replies guys.

i tried the well known auction site, but most of them seem to be either either the forfour, or the roadster. i shall keep looking though.

and the maisto one is tempting actually, though i forget that 1/18th is quite big.
