theres some price difference between the AA and minichamps 3doors as well!
iv'e seen AA ones go for Ł80 standard model!

althoug the prices are creeping up on all the decent models now!
some of them are ott i think!
but those who are serious collecters wouldnt hesitate i suppose!

Some seriously talented people in this thread. spent the last few days looking through it. ive been into my models for years, had a decent 1:18 ford collection about 5 years ago, all the usual suspects, ut escorts, minichamps and auto art, plus a lot of others, bmw, ferarri, lambo etc etc.

i like to display my models, and at the time, my kids had a habbit of pulling off wing mirrors, wipers etc, so rather than put them away in the boxes, i sold most of them. i did keep my 3DR's and RS500's as i cant bring myself to sell them.

well after looking through this thread, you lot have set me off again, i ordered another 500 on monday, arrived today,
