Both the ones he's selling are wrong ;)
Most of the 1992 BMW Conversions are, should be 3 door not 5.Quote:

I dont remember how much i paid for it, but i dont think it was silly money, i might have got it cheap because it was indeed a fake. I still have it though, and the proper motorpro Saphire car too.
Basicly its easy to just bid on something without thinking about it too much, and along the way there will be one or two buys a collecter makes that in hindsight might not make much sense to him!
I actually like that John Cleland Chevy! if only i could bid!
Haha I bought this. I had to refund it though. When i received it the wheel was hanging off and glue all over the inside of the wheel well. The guy tried to hide it in the picture. If anyone out there is looking to sale there racing replica cavaliers let me know,.Quote:

Ah, if its a bidding war you want then you can have all five of my Cavaliers, 1993 John Cleland, 1994 John Cleland, 1994 Jeff Allam ( a mint conversion job) and the 1994 Nigel Smith Cavalier, these are all fully boxed and are mint, cardboard sleeves too. I also have a 1993 David Leslie Cavalier, Ecurie Ecosse Cavalier, this is not in the original racing replica's box though, however i do have it mounted in a different perspex case, similar in style to the norm, no cardboard sleeve though for this one.
I would take £500 going on prices quoted above ;) :D
(if only!!!!!!)
Especially as i only payed £40 for it a year ago ;) I'm really collecting and not intending to sell any but at these crazy prices it does make you wonder.
Hmm, I wonder how much my Racing Replicas could go for??
With the usual ones (93 Cleland, 94 Cleland, 94 Leslie, 94 Nuttall and 94 Smith)
The conversions (91 Cleland, 92 Cleland, 92 Allam, 92 Leslie, 2 x 93 Ashley and 94 Cleland World Cup)
Could also include the Formule as well (94 Allam, 95 Cleland, 95 Thompson and 95 Briggs)
£2000 anyone????????
I am looking for some Leslie/Neal Mazda Xedos 1993 decals, if anyone has any please PM me. Thanks.
Pretty much impossible to get the decals you list as David Leslie and Matt Neal raced the Mazda in 1994!
Yes. Of course, thanks for pointing that out.
PDS, you've a PM.
Just spotted a couple of 1998 BTCC Audi A4 Conversions - Muller and Bintcliffe:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Now, come on fellars.. these prices are getting silly..
BTCC 1998 Audi A4
If they want to pay that sort of money then go ahead, when it comes to sell them they won't be able to get there money back ;) Besides i already have 2 Audi dealer edition ready to convert and only got them for £20 each.
Anybody need rollcages for their conversions
Built or kit form?Quote:

Hi guys,
I want to ask you about any model cars of BTCC from late 80's or early 90's. I know there a quite few, like the Volvo Estate, Ford Mondeo, Renault Megane, and so on. I want to ask if there available some Cavaliers, Carinas, and M3 E30.
Best Regards,
Joćo Anaquim
Hi,
Most of the cars you can get but are hard to get hold of, the Volvo estates and Ford Mondeo's would be your best bet. A lot of the early 90s stuff is very rare and doesn't come up much, even then you will need a very deep wallet. There's a few Cavalier's up at the moment, i should know as i have put one up myself ;)
As for the late 80s stuff, some of the Rouse Sierra's you can buy from shops now.
Renault Megane in the BTCC? I must say i have never seen one of those before. Only Renault cars i remember are the 19 and laguna.
Ready to fit but still in the plastic frameQuote:

I ended up winning that muller audi and I just got all 5 of the racing replicas BTCC Cavaliers and 2 from french touring and the jap reid cavalier for less than £100 on another ebay. WIN
HAHA I can easily make it back iv'e been buying cheap and selling at over triple for months nowQuote:

Thank you for the imformation. It was my error, I was obviously talking about the Lagunas.Quote:

I still keep an eye out, and a watchfull eye on the BTCC listings on eBay, the prices seemed high untill very recently, but the market seems flooded again with Onyx made models so prices are dropping a little, even the Cavaliers have popped up in numbers recently. I look forward to seeing my collection again when i come back to England for a long weekend next spring, i want to reunite myself with it, but my wife is insisting that out son can play with them as toys, this is not happening, so my collection will reside in England for now untill i can build a safe room at home here lol...
The Rouse Sierra is OK but the term 'you get what you pay for' rings true with this model and I don't think it's right either as the ICS decal on the front was surrounding by white in all the photos i've seen of the car.
When you come back you will need to show your wife that it clearly states 'not for under 14's' on the boxes of the models, so clearly NOT to be played with!
I'll have to post my last 5 models that have been added to the collection.
As I've not been able to go to any meetings this year and the weather hasn't been that great I thought I'd continue with the model collection. Another 5 to add to the collection (including 2 winners).

That's it for now, not sure which car to do next.
There seems to be a lot of Onyx models on eBay at the moment. Every time I go to list some of mine, more of them appear! So I'm holding off until they're not there. Pointless listing them at the same time.
Here are a couple of pictures of a project that I have just finished of a model that has never been made before, a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 as driven by Andy Rouse to win[img]http://ar2[/IMG] the BTCC Championship
Sorry having trouble loading pictures I'll try again[img][IMG][IMG]IMG_2237.JPG[/img][/IMG][/IMG]
