Default Non-James Bond 1:18 models - do they exist?

I have been looking for a 1:18 scale model of the Mk1 XK8/R for weeks, but can only seem to find the green one used in the Bond film. Are there any 'normal' models around?

I just realized that you're specifically looking for a 1/18th scale. Sorry. I googled it and can't find any. If google doesn't know, then I doubt anyone does.

I bought one of these http://www.btsrack.com/proddetail.as...31863-00000022 and repainted in Platinum with a Dove interior to look like my XKR.

LOL, I thought I was the only goof to actually purchase a model. Instead of going out to the parking lot when I first got the car, I could simply look at this on my desk. My 1/43 scale convertible is silver with the dove interior, but its a RHD car...currently in the shop for a US conversion.

I have the matchbox of the blue coupe sitting on my desk at work (I have to imagine it's anthracite) and a much higher end anthracite coupe sitting on my desk at home...and the real anthracite in the garage!

diecast model cars, model car, die cast model cars

I bought a XKR roadster. These are all 1:18, and most are inexpensive here.
