I wanted one of these waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day

yup...that's a good one. I've meant to buy this one, but something has always come up. Red is my favorite color, by a long shot.

Btw...it wasn't a concept car. 25 were produced, according to Callaway's site. http://www.callawaycars.com/the-company ... -cars/c12/

Thanks Gavin.

Impressive collection.

Christ, this guy has more real cars than I do diecast cars.

Guess I'd have to add the AUTOart Jauguar XK R, not a Jag fan but damn theres something about the lines on this car that keep me comming back.

That's a great one. I have the black non-R Coupe...beautiful model.

I'll also add the AA XJS. I don't have one, but they are relatively cheap.

I had both once, sold the non-R version shortly after I got the R. Both are exceptionally done!

Well if you're into concept car's here's a nice edition by an iconic brand SHELBY. The Shelby Cobra Concept by AUTOart is beautifully crafted. A model that can be sourced for less than $40.

^ its an nice model I had to grab one as well for 40.00 you can't go wrong.

There was one recently I saw on eBay for $34.99!!!!

Minichamps "TOP GEAR" Ford Focus RS 500 with Figure, limited to 1000 models. $78.00 cdn.
Nicely detailed, paint was perfect as well as to decaling, nice for Minichamps.

I agree it's a decent model and one that would gravitate to hot hatch fans, BUT can you get this for for $78 all the time?

probably not

Nice detail in the engine area for 1:43 at this price point.
