You can buy those HPI alfa's on eBay for between 30-45 pounds ish, using 'buy it now' from certain business sellers.
I now own both the Tarquini and Simoni Minichamps models, but i would love to know how the HPI differs from the originals, whats the quility like?
I have just seen this model listed on ebay item number 250515614039. Matt Neal's 2005 Championship winning Honda Integra
I think it looks really good. Model is nicely finished and it comes on a good base with a silver plaque with the car details on it. It is at least on a par with Minichamps quality.Quote:

It is yeah. I quite like 1:18s, they display better and the difference between an average and good model really stands out.
Nought wrong with 1/18th. Cracking models to be had...
Just need masses of space and a bigger wallet.. he he.
Yeah price in particular is a problem at the moment, I luckily got the Volvos on pre-order when they were just £70 instead of the £100 they are now!Quote:
