You can get small 1/43th Chims direct from the TVRCC website, also take a look at Diecast legends web site they do have a stock of 1/18th models of TVR's not sure if they do the Chim though.

You could always build it yourself then there's no-one to blame!

They may seem a bit pricey but there's a lot of detail in these kits (i.e. lots of microscopically small bits!) - you won't put it together in 5 minutes if you want to make a nice job of it.

I've got a V8S kit and haven't been brave enough to start it yet - you can buy them built and honestly they would earn every penny of that price putting it together.
