Minichamps used to produce a very nice 1/18 scale model of a V8 Vantage in Titanium, but it has been out of production for over a year.

There was a great article on AM toy cars in the Summer AM Quarterly.

It did refer to corgi and dinky cars but also emphasised the role played by AC Gilbert Toy factory - a quick google may enlighten you smile

I got mine from here: http://www.diecastlegends.com/road-cars?filter_act...

But they don't seem to do the V8V any more. Might be worth checking eBay.

I have had a 1:18 silver V12V from AutoArt on pre-order for almost a year.

I emailed them and they replied it will be released 1st quarter 2012.

Its £117 though. Better be good.

The only V8V I could get at the time was in green. Tis rather nice.

I've been waiting for this one too. I bought a 1:18 model of another car from AutoArt and it was really good quality.
