Anyone have a source, either metal or a plastic "kit"?

I have a Maisto convertible but would love a coupe....larger sized the better.

Grazi!!

 

I have several metal scale models of my XK8, even the colour is correct, but they are all convertibles which is what I have so is what I was looking for. I can't recall ever seeing a coupe model.

Does this count? https://minimodelshop.com/james-bond...r-ex-mag-dy006

 

I've got some photos of my two boys (when they were infants), sitting in one of the actual cars used in the movie. However, I was able to get some good photos because it is still not a coupe.

Hmmmmm. It might.
Let's take it for a spin. I'll drive.

Oh......that red button???

Bwahahahaha.

 

You might need to go down the Scalextric route:-

 

There are a few options out there on fleabay:

Interesting....the little one showed but that Vitesse, which didn't appear in my searches, is a dead wringer for my car!!!!!

Ugh...shipping is more than the price of the car!!!!!

Thank you so much for the links. I'll see if I can find one Stateside.

 

thegreatgarbanzo,

There was a 1:18 scale XKR Coupe released by Solido in the early 2000's but was discontinued in about 2010. They are very rare now but one is currently for sale on UK ebay here

I managed to acquire one a few years ago. They are not great quality so I had to respray and rebuild it to match the spec of my own car. See pics in my album.

PKWise: I have never purchased overseas. I've seen some great deals from reputable watch sellers on Watchuseek and reddit but there is always the unknown additional tax and duty....even under $1,000. Assuming you are in tbe U.S did you buy yours from England and if so any suprises before customs woukd release? That 1/18 would be nice!


Hellcat-Thank you....One on the way. Wish it was 1/18 but it will do for now!!!

 

Here are mine:

The Vitesse XKR is close to a dead ringer for my XKR( my interior is black too), the transformer is just fun!

Ravage after transformed!
