Default First 1/18 BTCC models are coming? - 4th Feb 10, 19:00
AUTOart has confirmed that they'll be making two Volvo 850's which Rickard Rydell used to race in the 1994 and 1995 BTCC. The car will be finished in 1/18 scale.

So, these should be the first 1/18 BTCC models on the market?

Not offically in 1/18.

As AlfaFan said, 1/43 cars fom 2007 were sold through RAC, but they seemed to have stopped selling them now. I have the 2008 and 2009 cars in my collection.

1/18 Motorbase cars from 2008 and 2009 have been produced for selected people.

they were only limited editions but I imagine if you keep looking on eBay, one will turn up sometime - be prepared to pay premiums for them though...

Ah, i thought so, i remember it now being on eBay and you saying you had bought it in a thread here or on a similar forum.

I watched it with interest through the auction, but never bid on it myself, i dont collect 1/18 scale, dont have the room. However i do have a 1/18 Rally Sierra Cosworth, and the detail is exceptional, i would imagine Alfa fan's BMW is pretty impressive.

Not at the moment. The models are being produced for the team and their sponsors, so to find one on e-bay will be extremely rare!
The only one that every made it onto e-bay (put on by a competition prize winner who obviously didn't want it) was bought back by the team!

Here is a picture of an almost complete 2009 model..

Only the 1995 car? Not doing the estate?

I hope the Estate is still coming. I'm fairly sure it will be as AUTOart have already released the plain version of the car it was based upon.
