Hi, Wonder if anyone with 1:18 model knowledge could help me, I'm looking for a 1:18 C63 AMG Estate in black, have done a google search obviously and have seen they exist but can't find one for sale?

Sourcing and buying models seems harder than the real thing for some cars!

I would try calling Past Present Toys on 020 8364 1370

They don't have a website but are a treasure trove of model cars, Scalextric and Hornby.

If they don't have one already (they might need to call you back as they have stock stacked up to the ceiling) they may be able to order you one as they have accounts with all the major model makers such as AutoArt, Minichamps etc.

It is a small hobby/collectors shop run by one man as what seems to be his hobby. He has been there for about 20+ years and well known in the area by model collectors.

The last time I was in there, amongst many, many other things, he had the old 70's Batmobile from the TV series in brand new, boxed condition. It brought back child hood memories of the one I had that sadly is no longer with us !

Worth a try. Let us know how you get on.

Any use?

Unfortunately I can only find a C63 AMG saloon in grey.

(76275, Mercedes C63 AMG in Grey £112.99)

But St Martins may be able to help you.

Seems they are all saloons, not sure they even do one, think the one I saw may have been a mock up. Seems strange really, thought the estate sold just as many? (the real car I mean)

Yeah I saw that but cant register for that forum to ask him for some reason, just keeps going back to the login page?

That does at least give me hope 1 exists though.
