RE: PH Competition: Corgi Vanguards die-cast models
Discussion
SPOILER ALERT:
Whilst the idea is cracking, I don't think they're all that good if I'm honest. Proportionally, Corgi has done better in the past.
Having seen some of the work a professional model-making friend of mine has done for Mattel in the past, their work outshines Corgi's.
As I said, great idea, just the execution could have been better.

If that's the CMC model, I have it. It's absolutely stunning, down to the finest little details. 1:18 Maserati 250F $284.95 Recently had to have a very serious conversation when the OH suggested that I let our 5 year old play with my various CMC and Exoto models...
My Dad had exactly that model of Cavalier SRi except it was a 5-door hatch. With "lovely" light brown velour.
Amazing to think it was only 115bhp (iirc).
It was nicked from outside PC World in Bristol (Filton) and found a week later in a council estate in Weston ... H9xxWVV it was (again iirc).

I would like to be the sad git that points out that the spec of the Cavalier is wrong. All the ph2 SRi's had alloys, wheras the Corgi model shows the plastic wheel trim style of the ph1 cars
Is it even sadder to point out that you are wrong and wheel trims were standard at this time apart from on the SRi 130? Does being a 1987 second facelift Cavalier MK11 make this a ph3 car?

I had a maroon mk3 Vauxhall Cavalier GSi. With a drip of white paint on the windscree, I promise it was paint Great models, i have a few at home. Mine are missing most their paint though! Toys are to be played with
I also have a police colour painted Astra GTE it even has a number plate, its on a B Reg
Sorry to be the anorak, but the last Capris were actually produced in 2 slightly different greens (can't remember the name of the other green colour, but a member of the Capri Owners Club will no doubt elucidate).
Can I have a model Capri for being Pedant of The Week?
Or a subscription to 'Sad b
