BTCC Models

They are limited to 500 so surely they can only go up in value unlike the 1/18 volvo's. I would like one but don't have the money.

Wish i had my racing replica Cavaliers with me, at 160 quid a pop i could be rich again!

Its definatly good time to sell!

[KILOHMUNNS]

Don't think it will happen again, if you look at the bidding history only 2 people were after the model. So when the next one comes up it will probably go for alot cheaper.

As I haven't been able to go to ant meetings so far this year due to mainly family commitments I thought I'd spend some of the money I have saved on a couple more models for the collection

Plus I've finished off a couple more kits I've needed to do for a long time (only another 10 to do before I've caught up!)

These are the models I've bought

1977 Richard Lloyd VW Gold GTi (Vanguard)

1977 BTCC - 46 - Volkswagen - Lloyd | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

1995 Derek Warwick Alfa Romeo (not quite right when I got it as it is on a 1994 Minichamps base so the splitter isn't right, I also had to add a proper rear wing as well -still looks OK though)

1995 BTCC - 55 - Alfa Romeo - Warwick | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

1995 Gabriele Tarquini Alfa Romeo (same issues as the Warwick car)

1995 BTCC - 1 - Alfa Romeo - Tarquini | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

1993 Ray Bellm BMW 318i (Rae models - need to replace that auwful seat)

Very nice Kilohmuns! i especially like the 94 Jef Allam Cavalier. How big is your collection now? if you dont mind me asking that is!

[KILOHMUNNS]

Currently 183 'finished' models!

I still have around 10 kits to make and a few conversions to do before I have causght up with everything.

There is still the Vanguard 85 Rouse Sierra to come out and Spark have announced a 1960s Steve Neal Britax Mini Cooper as some point in the future.

That 200 mark is getting ever closer.

Impressive! as for myself, i will consider my collection to be complete once i have the last of the Onyx cars added, i think i just need 2 now, a 98 Leslie and the 99 Radermaker Volvo, then i will have every Onyx BTCC car. Ofcourse the 85 Rouse Sierra is a must also, and if i get a chance and some spare cash i really want the 1995 Volvo 850 in 1/18 scale too.

Cant buy anything at the minute though, my eBay account is broken due to me logging in here in Romania, they seem to think i am hacking my own account! and my collection is not with me and i cant remember exactly what i do and dont have. Cant wait for next summer though to be reunited with them, of all the things i miss from England, i miss my collection of BTCC cars, Nottingham Forest, (City ground, former season ticket holder) oh and my family too.
