I have been trying to get my hands on a Spark 1/43 scale Sagaris in "chameleon" for ages. (Trying to get a 1/43 scale model of every car I've owned to take with me to the USA) Nothing on ebay or from any of the Spark dealers in the UK or the USA. Finally tracked one down in Italy and it arrived this morning. The detailing is superb, as to be expected from Spark and the colour is as close as I will ever get to my cascade indigo. My photo doesn't do it justice, the colour changes with the light and movement just like the real thing.



Edited to make the pic smaller.

Excellent....Spark seem to be putting together a nice range of TVRs (Grantura, V8?, Tamora, Tuscan and recently the Cerbera). Hadn't realised there was a Sagaris made (any link ?) I'm just hoping they will bring out a Griff / Chim at some point

BTW .....can't see any Piccy

Is the pic not showing? I can see it ok on Mozilla and IE. It's just an imageshack upload?

Aaah got it now !

Looks like they have picked out all those familiar lines in great detail.

Now....Sparkmodels....how about a Griff or Chim. Adding those two and it'll make up the majority of the range over the years. Yes, I know there will still be a few missing

Whereabouts in Italy did you find this Paul? I've been after a decent T350 model for a while but I'm not sure about the one's on the Spark site - they don't look as detailed as yours???

I got it from Carmodel in Pineto. They packed it beautifully and it was sent by courier with full tracking, shipped from Italy Mon, here this morning.

They don't seem to have many TVR's at the moment, the Spark 60's Griff looks nice though and the Cerbie as well. I have the Spark Speed 12 and it is a very nice model. I'm have't seen the Spark T350.

Hi Lee.

I think I got the last one.......

I tried many places, including several in the US that claimed to have it but when I got through to them they told me it was out of stock. The only other place that I found that said they had one is Biante in Australia. I didn't contact them because I found the Carmodel one at the same time. Here's a link;

I have the Vitesse Tuscan, managed to get one on ebay for £4.99 MIB. It's a nice model.

SMTS did both Griff and Chim. They are both on ebay at the moment but both over £100. IMHO they don't look as good as the spark models but are hand made etc..

Except if you try and buy one it's out of stock, even though it says in stock on the website. I tried them several times before.. Most places advertising it don't actually have any and talk vaguely about "backorder" which is why I bought mine from Italy because they were the only place advertising it who actually had one in stock.
