Question Looking for 1:18 scale model of convertible

Seems like I'm hunting for hen's teeth...

Lots of coupes, but no drop heads in this scale.

Anyone know of any?

Thanks,

I don't think they exist, at least yet. Topspeed makes a nice 1:18 coupe which you may have seen, but no 'vert. There are 1:43's in several colors, so that's what I have for the moment.

Still not seeing 1:18 convertibles. However, Auto Art has what looks like a very nice 1:18 2015 F-type R Coupe in a few different colors (white, firesand, matte black, matte grey)...

I sent Top Speed an e-mail asking if there is going to be more colors, no response.

Problem is Lance they only make an R or SVR (and P7?), no V6 version, so for us poor sods with the weeny engine the back end is all wrong.
Maybe we can petition them to make a V6 version?

I'd still be interested if it's the RWD R. Then, at least, the hood vents would be in the right place. I already have the valance I need when I find a used SVR quad exhaust I want to install on the 1:1 version.

This site has just about every Jag you can imagine, except for the F-Type vert. It even has the 1:18 XJ220. https://carsandmilk.com/collections/jaguar?page=1

This place is quite good as well, and cheaper.

I have ordered from them before with no issues.

Just purchased from Jaguar collection U.K. website and this 1:18 die cast model is superb and unique in every detail. Manufactured by topspeed-models. They do have the convertible and project 7 models too.

Haven't seen this thread in a while have you ! I would like to have a 1:18 scale model of the F Type Convertible for the desk top and I simply can't find one. When I found this thread I figured I had it made, but the Top Speed website is non-functional. I am not too particular about colors or features because I can paint and modify, although the earlier and purer the better. Thanks guys.

The Top-Speed web site is functional, but doesn't show any Jaguars at the moment. However, you can find a fair number on e-bay in different configurations...
