All, I'm getting to the stage of life where nostalgia is taking over my mind. A lot of my early memories are of Silverstone, and distinctive racing cars. I recently found some pictures of cars that obviously caught my eye as a 7 year old, at the 1977 Silverstone Tourist Trophy. BTW, photos were taken on my much loved Ilford Sprite camera, on 120 film, so they're a bit crap, but meant a lot to me...

Alpina BMW CSL:



BMW CSL:



Jaguar XJ 5.3C:



Also, the Hermatite BMW 3.5 CSL of Tom Walkinshaw from the 1976 Silverstone 6 Hours:

I'm wondering if there are any decent quality 1:43 models of the above at a reasonable price? Pre-built or kits are fine.

Thanks in advance.

There's 574 hits for "BMW CSL" on Ebay.

I scrolled through 3 pages of them ,lots in other liveries and 1/18 size but surely something there to suit.

Anything from Minichamps ,IXO or Spark are decent quality.
Tried EBay - only the Hermatite BMW by Spark, and a dodgy looking SMTS Jaguar kit. No idea about quality of either. 1:43 is the scale I want.
