8 months later and 17 months since I placed an order at their webshop, I still haven't received a thing from them. Sent an email to their CS a couple days ago, zero replies.
EDIT: Apparently their Facebook page does have someone standing by. So I will see how things go from now on.

Another here waiting for the M600, Morgan Aero aswell for me. Pre-ordered and paid for them both almost 2 years ago.
I wish they would just pick a date they will be available and stick to it rather than just putting it back by another 2 months each time the target date is reached.

^ above posts are the exact reasons I rarely place pre-orders with anyone these days. Would rather wait to see the final product and then decide, but that's just me.
I am also patiently waiting for the Noble though, c'mon Top Marques!!

Le Mans and Daytona winning XJR-9s now out at the usual suspects (I've seen it at CK and Modellisimo)
Look good if you don't have an Exoto already.

Having just got the Exoto, the Daytona one is inaccurate - the nose shape should be different from the LM version ahead of the radiator outlet vents, and I think the splitter should be different (longer) too. Haven't looked at the LM version in any detail, it looks like TM wrongly used the same tooling for both versions. For the price they charge, they need to do better.

I think you may be right, but I'm not sure the price is too outrageous - The choices are limited unless CMR suprise us all!

Odd if the nose is wrong (Jaguar could have used different ones throughout the race or maybe they used a restored example as the basis?), as they've changed other details (vents in front arch tops, rear wing and fuel filler for example).

Yeah, it's weird - you can see it in this photo, the panel with "Castrol" on is noticeably curved, it's like that in all the photos I've seen from the race.

The car has since been changed but that panel is still curved - the latest configuration I've found has a pair of NACA ducts on either side. I guess TM just missed it. Looking at the photo, the splitter is correct for the race version though.
For me, €200+ is strong money for a flawed model, a chunk more than Spark, and they usually nail the race-specific details like that.

I agree, a Spark would be great, but they've told me they're never remaking the XJR-14, so I wouldn't hold my breath for XJR-9.

I really cannot find words to describe how I feel but let's say the story once again.
December of 2019 I pre-ordered the green Alfa Romeo Carabo and green Lamborghini 350gt.
After 13 months, Alfa is getting postponed every 2 months and the Lamborghini is marked as sold-out.
Customer service doesn't exist. I want to cancel the Alfa, so at least I get the Lamborghini but none is there.
I don't know what to expect anymore. I am afraid that one nice day, they will tell me that they don't have any
of the models that I have (I repeat) pre-ordered.
And because this is not enough, after seeing the Carabo listed on ebay months ago, I 've being told that
someone told me that recieved the model since October from a different dealer...
What is really going on?

I love concept cars and ever since Top Marques was modelling the Carabo I constantly checked ebay. Luckily I ordered it through a HK dealer and it was posted promptly to Australia. It has been in my collection since Q4 2020 and looks superb. I would be cancelling my order and searching independently through an alternative distributor.

So lose the Lamborghini too, even if I am afraid that they don't have my model?
I see them presenting great models all the time, but doing nothing with the older ones. Now I confirm that they release an amount of copies for some distributors but letting others wait for over a year (some others way more). Is this their professionalism? Or sending a calendar of 2019 in December 31 2019 will make customers happy (yes happened with older order)?
