A must have for IanM
AutoArt has made an exact copy of your GTV (well, almost) in the scale 1:18
She is the right model
She has the right colour
She is not only available in LHD (model AA70101), but in RHD as well (AA70106)

Can you get a 1/18th scale model of Mitch as well?  |

Show her soon so she can start saving (the models aren't cheap)

Re: A must have for IanM
I've been using www.autosportmodels.com i'm fairly sure they have the 1/18th autoart coupe, they also have a lovely 1/43th scale handbuilt looksmart selection of sprint's, GTA's and GTV's, pricey (£65) but fantastic ....there is also a nice minichamps guilia salon out there, more reasonable at about (£30)  |

It's £48.00 from Autosport models, I saw one of these in Ochre, (Nice Colour that  ) in a model Shop recently, but couldn't get a good look.
I must admit I am very tempted, but unfortunatly the £48.00 really ought to be better spent on bits for the real thing.....Still tempted tho |

I know it is a lot of money for "just a model". But you can't pass on this one, even if you don't collect scale models. Just the fact that it is AND a 1750 GTV, AND a white one AND available as RHD should trigger you to buy one (I know I would) |

I know, I know, I know, Hans... thats what makes it so hard not to, and I put £48.00 worth of Petrol in my 156 last night, which puts into perspective. but It will kind of send the wrong message to the Wife...if you know what I mean
But Damn I am tempted......... |

I think the models from Minichamps are on a very high level as well. The spider and the Giulia are lovely detailed as well. |
