A rip off?
Good value?

I am not sure..

[MrKipling43]

If you'd ever seen one up close you'd pay double!

I think it's made by these guys: http://www.amalgamcollection.com/en/

Edit: it is made by them.

I for one am pretty sure I wouldn't.

Dont think ill be buying one, it would need to have a big chunk of Lewis himself included.

Id prefer the LH soap dispensing figurene.

Or his new book:

Not enough change after buying Felipe Massa's Guide To Sporting Failures?

That's £800 cheaper on Grand Prix Legends, they do them at £2750

I could buy both if i wanted. Ive been told that the cheesemeister's book is a better read. However if its F1 results from which you find your delectation in literature then i suggest you speak to a Mr Glock for a definitive answer.

Did Lewis recommend the cheese straws that you seem to be clutching at? I hear they go very well with wine made from sour grapes

Ah, no they aren't. I think they did some signed Schumacher ones at £3500, so the price is justified.

What are you talking about? I said id try his book. Why dont you buy that signed scale model if you like him so much?

In that case you'd be better off buying this to go with that chip on your shoulder ...

[anonymous-user]

whoever buys this is a mug. there are not collectable and as the guy is going to be racing for a good few years to come, there will be a lot more signed models of mclarens available in the future.

even signed memorabilia of dead drivers does not reach the sort of heights that the vendor is charging for this model, regardless of how detailed it is you could buy a 1:1 scale formula ford for not much more...

i hate people who speculate on the value of these things, buy them because you like the guy and like the model not because it might go up. i can tell you, a signed model of a championship winning mclaren will not be a rarity in ten years time (providing he isnt killed in some awful accident obviously...)

[Fire99]

Holy Mackeral. How much?

Now wouldn't you be p!ssed if you're little niece or nephew came round and started to play bumper cars with it..

I wouldn't let TomTVR near it. He might eject it from his pram

I was exagerating, of course! Having said that, Amalgam models are uttely beautiful.
