Highly unlikely Modelzone will have one. Best bet will be a smaller model shop or eBay. I got one on eBay unboxed last month for Ł25 posted and paid Ł30 each for the last 2 in my local independant model shop early last year.

possibly around that, my mate bought it years ago, then he swapped with another mate of mine for a series rs turbo, then my mate sold it to a guy in great yarmouth, last time i seen the car ws it was in the back ground of of a cossie engine for sale on ebay

but the car was just insane, and the sound of the charger was un real

yeah, my mate blew the engine, so ran it with a std rover v8 after, though it needed the charger but he just sold the car on after as he never used it, the only thing im going to struggle on doing on the model is the bonnet scoop
