Does anyone have some of these that they would like to move on? I've been building my little collection and need a few to complete, fair price paid.

Specifically I'm looking for:

both T350 versions
Any road version of Tuscan (not bothered about the racing versions, I have two to exchange if anyone wants the Peninsula liveried or the purple Synergy badged car, can't recall which one it is)
Speed 12
Grantura

Need to be mint in the plastic box but I'm not too worried about the cardboard sleeve.

Cheers

No only what is there, there used to be a company that painted model TVR,s the same as your one , the Chim is one of theirs but I can,t seem to find them shame as they would have a customer for 4 models

Yes, I know the one you mean.

One was for sale recently, but they wanted silly money for it.

Had never heard of spark models before.

OP: Looking at their site they list everything you are after...
http://sparkmodel.com/Main/home/index.html

Are there any 1:18 scale model out there?

There are for various models - such as Sagaris and Tuscan, yes.









I have a bunch of the 18" ones. You can still pick them up on ebay fairly cheap. For example, one red Sag
currently up for £15.

You may get a 1:18 Tuscan for £15 but the Sags usually sell for a lot more. The one on eBay was at £15 but still has 6 days to go, it's now at £42.

That is the nature of ebay. Which is why I said it was currently up at £15.

They can get as high as £99 sometimes.

I have a Spark 1:43 Griffith in black. It's in over 50 bits!. Amazing small detail. Hand brake, gear lever, facia panel. Wing mirrors have reflective mirrors half the size of a rice grain. Even TVR logo on seat headrests. I have fully taken it apart for a re spray from dull custom black to Ocean Haze. It would have been easier for China to have made it in 1:18 scale. Redoing the tail pipes. They are c.......py. Need to use strong binocular mag headset with ultra rite light to complete the rebuild. An excercise in patience, discipline and care. Strewth, the things we do for TVR !!!! B...... Mad.

Never seen anything in 1/18 and only a DIY white metal kit of an S3 or V8S in 1/43


with a bit of effort (and skill) they can look as good as this

If to be re sprayed, spray with plain cellulose colour spray like the blue Tuscan. Not with any metal flake. Will look spotty.

Unfortunately you can't buy direct from here.

Has anyone got any of the Vitesse Tuscan's in 1:43, what's the quality like? I'm guessing they are inferior based upon price??
