Right folks can you help. I've just seen this mk1 on ebay, does anyone know if a Mk2 sr is made in 1/43?

BTW its not for me as I'm not really a fan of the mk2(don't shoot me lol )

Not seen a MK2 1:43 model, only MK1's.

If you want quality, go for the Minichamps version, it'll be more expensive tho.

Where do you get these little kits from? Ive built like 3 cars before and really found it fun and want to get a few more kits to waste some time with. whats the best manufacturer and cheapest?

I'm assuming we're talking about diecast models not kits.
Would be good if you can get a Nova/Corsa A in kit form tho.

Yeah, ive been looking at the tamiya kits (if that how its spelt) and theres the burago ones which I think the ones I done were. Just trying to figure out which ones to get that involve more than putting a shell onto the chassis then job done -_-

I'm waiting for the availability of the new Corgi Colin McRae series as they've released his rallied up Sport.
