Elfin MS8 Streamliner Concept ...by Classic Carlectables

#168/750

Finally!!! After quite a hunt, I was able to catch one of those rare and very hard to find Elfin Streamliner Concept! :joy

I'm also proud to be the first one showing this car on DX iano ....well the only other Elfin that was showed on DX was the racing version, Vxfan is the owner, but that plain version is a premiere....

....and I'm not dissapointed at all! :happy It's my first Classic Carlectables model and I like it very much! All I need now is the other CC marvel, the Holden EFIJY Concept to go along with it.

I have no other CC references but they did a gooooood job with this beauty. It has nice features:

-flawless paint
-great details
-quite heavy for a small model
-nice front grill
-working gas filler cap
-seat & seatbelts are nicely done
-working hood's gas struts
-etc...

The model comes with an LE certificate and a booklet (with pictures) about the making of the 1:1 Eflin Streamliner....cool touch!

Verdict

If you like concept cars and you if you can find one of these....you need to get it!

DX result: 8.5/10

My personal appreciation note: 10/10

I just looked at this model in another topic:

I like the modern version - but it reminds me sooo much of BMW Roadster :confused

Jeff you should of told me you were after one of these as a models shop I drop into has 3 on the shelf, even gave me a few $$ off $150au anyway I passed on that offer, didnt think much of the 1:1 when I seen it, but as always as you know it's down to taste & glad you got one buddy.

:cheers

That's a gorgeous looking model. I'd like to add something like that to my collection. :cheers

That is really a funky looking car. A bit too odd for my tastes, but the photos are spectacular as usual!

Thanks for the offer RR72, :cheers

I was thinking about communicate with an Australian folks over the last month to see if this model was out or not, because I had no info what so ever about this Elfin model.....and you were the first name that came to my mind....

...but as I was browsing through Ebay, I saw this one to grab at an "afordable" price that I couldn't just let go. After a few email with Classic Carlectables, I found out that it was a good deal....so I bought it for $150 (canadian) shipping included. That's about $165 aus dollars.

Now I'm on the hunt for another Australian model, the Holder EFIJY concept, which will be my 2nd Classic Carlectables model. My order has already been made to a diecast webstore from British Columbia. Just waiting to see when they will get it....

If it occurs that there will be a problem about my order, I'll think about sending you the money to get me one.....thanks again RR72, I appreciate it! :cheers

Yeah thats a good price on the Elfin.

But the EFIJY will be hard to find now as I just got another for our UK friend, but hope the price drops into range for you buddy.

:cheers

I hadn't come across this one before, looks very nice though! A bit like a TVR cross bred with a bread maker? :giggle

Are you sure you don't mean Classic Carlectables, I thought that was the name of the company. Or is there a 2nd company called Car Carlectables?

P.S. I have heard both positive and negative feedback with regards to the Efigy so let us know what u reckon when u get urs.I didn't get one as I don't really collect concepts as a rule.
