Default Bought my fourth Jag!

There is another thread in here about scale cars, but I can't find it.... so this is what I got at the supermarket today, just cuz. I haven't cleaned it up yet, it's a bit messy AND someone stuck the steering wheel on the wrong side:

Well, heck. Yep, guess I use a dab of glue. It does still need some tweaking, polishing and pushing-about to make it look OK, plus it's still a coupe (ugh), but it was cheap and handy, right next to the eggs I went into the store to fetch.
Oh, and 1/38.

I'm sure not, but I'd never know anyway.

Does anyone out there have some Nevis wheels for a 1/38?

It's been in an accident! Didn't you check Carfax before you bought it?
1/38 is a fairly uncommon size.

Oi! I'm stuck with the Sentas, since my AUTOart model has them too.

The only model of mine I can find with Nevis wheels is 1/14 scale. The downside for you is that it is also a coupe but it is radio control



The Autoart cars have a lot of detail but please excuse the dirt!










A selection of others

The AUTOart ones are nice indeed, probably the most detailed X150 models available. Too bad they don't have a modern XK in this collection...not that I'd buy one.

Some good photos of the silver XK here and black XKR here and here.

Christ mate, you went through a lot of samples before buying the real thing.
Spectacular collection.

Thanks. I might have got a bit carried away though because I have just counted them and have thirty X150 models of various scales (plus the full size one of course!).

Although if you include the one on my desk at work and the one beside my bed, that makes 32
