I have to admit that the majority are in a cupboard but I can display 42 in cabinets, so I tend to rotate them.

They have finally been released and waiting for mine to be delivered from TRAX.Quote:

Typical that it's cheaper than I paid!!!! :( But I wanted to ensure I got it.
Only by £5 and the auction hasn't ended!
Here is the link for an IXO screwdriver seller in the UK. Selling for £1.50.Quote:

Did anyone see the Racing Replicas Mondeo of Radisich that sold at the weekend? Went for £104.54!!! A bit over the odds in my opinion! Lucky to get mine for about £20!
Here is a link to it:

I was watching that and it didn't look that great. I wouldn't have paid that much anyway.
I was pleased to find a 2006 Yvan Muller Seat at the weekend - lovely looking model
where can you get hold of recent (2005+) models..?Quote:

Pity too, its one i need to finish my collection. I also require a 1994 Tarquini Alfa, and while they have appeared on eBay recently, they always fetch silly money, or if they dont i forget about them and miss out.
Anyway, in recent months my BTCC list has grown a little, i now have all three Privater Mondeos from 95, Gravett, Cox and Neal, Aillo's championship winning Primera from 99, which effectivly means i now own each Onyx car produced, i think i might be one or two short, but i do now have pretty much all of them.
I have also seen the two Sierra's by Trofue, i dont have one yet, i will buy the set at some point, but i think i would rather have the Rouse car in its own seperate case, not so bothered about Soper's Sierra. Thats being picky though, its better value on eBay to buy them in the set, than on the very rare ocasion that the old Soper first edition comes on the Auction.
someone i know who works in a model shop has just informed me that theres a btcc team rac scaletrix bmw on the new release sheets, thought it might be off interest, no sign of it on the website, cheers

I wouldn't be as keen on the recent BTCC models as it has went down greatly in my estimations. I hate seeing Honda Civics and Leons scooting around and the BMW and Vectra look stupid without the big alloy wheels from the last great BTCC era :(
slightly different but Thompson's 2007 Alfa was on sale at Autosport - £30.... think I'll wait until I am at a WTCC meeting for that
You can buy it online from either TRAX at £24.99 or GPL at £29.99. Surprised it's not sold out yet, some of the others have.
The Rapid Fit Mondeo from the 2000 season Alain Menu model has been available for quite a long time from http://www.tinwizard.deQuote:

Anyway, i wish i could get my hands on some of the rarer produced models, like the Toyota Carina, any year, as long as its BTCC, i would also like the late Mondeo hatchback, and a 1995 Cavalier. But you dont often see the build it yourself kits come up on eBay.
Near £100 for that!Quote:

I wish Onyx or Minichamps would make a return to building good BTCC replicas. But i doubt there is the market for them these days.
I have a couple of these models and they are definately not out of proportion and the only fault with the grille in the picture on the website is that the decal hasn't been applied properly which is easily rectified.Quote:

I am very pleased with the ones that I have and I am very particular with what I collect I wouldn't have a poorly built model in my collection.Quote:

P908011 - Ford Sierra RS500 - BTCC 1990 - Rob Gravett..
I will have to replace my exisiting model!
Just stumbled across as BTCC Vectra 2007 1:43 model that is coming out. Not sure if I am aloud to pot a link as was told off either on this forum or the btcc.net one but if you go to oxford die cast on their home page it has a picture of it. Not sure of the quality but it looks ok in the pictures.
If I can post link let me know and I will
Please post a link.. I can't see it on their site!

Great! That looks worth a serious look!

Can't find a price!
I thought it looked pretty good, until I realised it was a saloon rather than the hatchback of the actual car! I'd probably still buy one though. Oxford Diecast models are generally pretty cheap so it could be as low as £10.
Looks good, shame it appears to be the 4 door model though?
Well spotted!
It is a saloon model!?!
I thought the same,but when you look at the back view, the boot doesn't look quite long enough for the saloon, but it's certainly way too long for the Hatchback too. That rear wing looks way too small as well. I'd imagine it will be quite cheap as Oxford models are often under £10. I think I'd probably still buy one despite the odd looking rear end as we don't often get BTCC models.
