There is a tie but still cannot find a diecast/model car!

[greymrj]

Not sure that is the kind of sartorial elegance I am yearning to achieve! Fortunately it wouldn't go with the colour of my car/upholstery/eyes/hair etc etc so I couldn't possibly buy it!

[seb400]

these were available by special order a couple of years ago.

I missed out originally but was able to buy one from a member who hadn't got around to building the model. Mine's still in it's box in a drawer upstairs!

Apologies for straying off original topic but these are the people who make the models. They usually have V8's in stock but after a bit of gentle persuasion and a firm commitment of orders they also produced a limited number of V6s (modified V8 mould) for us.

Give them a call and see what they have in stock, otherwise I expect you'll need to get a few more willing to join you in another group buy before they are willing to produce any more. I am in no way connected to this company but just a very satisfied customer.

HTH, Stu.

This is mine, be warned as you can see from the last pic they are small!

[greymrj]

It doesn't look as if they have any S models in stock but I have emailed them and asked them to advise on availability. I will post their reply on this thread. Mine is the Brooklands Green V6 with the V8 bonnet that has been known to cause confusion! I would therefore be looking for a V8, even if the wheels are wrong for mine!

Wouldn't it be an amazing privilege for the winner of the Clarence Boddiger Award at next year's SCH to wear it for the year at TVR gatherings & functions?
Or what a fantastic prize for the charity raffle.

Nice job.

Nearly bid (for comedy value) but forgot when it finished. I await pics of the S forum member proudly wearing it

[glenrobbo]

Not me, I'm afraid it would clash with my day-glo orange balaclava.

I wonder who got it?

[greymrj]

Somehow poets and day glow balaclava's doesn't readily fit together, mind you, you could have been buying it to embellish 'Austin's' sanitary ware

[Spanish S2]

It wasn't me, the last time I bought a tie I had to take it back! It was too tight!

[glenrobbo]

Perhaps I should take the balaclava back?

No just fit a pull cord ,
