Kyosho Triumph TR3A... It failed to sell 3 times for a initial bid of £50.00, then seller dropped it to £45.00 and no one bid on it in the end...

Last week he relisted at £40.00 and it eventually catched someone's attention. I was going to bid on it today but I chickened out at the last 10 seconds. It went for £48.00 with delivery

I don't want to start collecting classic cars, not just yet, but I'm kicking myself right now for letting that one go for the 4th time. It's like it was calling my name, and I ignored it.

years ago, Ford showed a concept car called the 49, which if they made it I would have bought it (oddly though, I feel it's the car you need to wear a hat it; which I would have done!)

AutoArt made in 1:18, but I missed it. I think it was sealed though.

Its got all opening parts according to what I've seen on photos. You can still find them on eBay, seller rmtoys has one:

1) Really wish I'd picked up one of these GT Autos VW Phaetons when they were only $65usd brand new.

2) Been searching high and low for a black full-opening W126. I think Norev is the only one. At this price though, I'll be searching a long time.

1) IMO you are not missing much on the GT Autos Phaeton. These are a bit crude with many misaligned/misfitting parts, and poor level of finish. You'd be better off with the series 1 Phaeton made by AutoArt, these can still be found at somewhat affordable prices.

2) The price on that W126 is totally insane. Is that from a seller named "bpowerful4sure"? All his listing are stupid high priced, I would never buy anything of him if I lived in the US.
If you could compromise and get either the dark blue or the dark green, these can still be had in the $100 to $200 bracket.
