I only collect 1/64 scaled cars..... but that doesn't mean I don't buy other scale diecast cars, occasionally. I used to be a big Gran Turismo fan, and this is one of the very few 1/18 scale cars I long desired. :D I recently nearly bought the original release(must be getting close to ten years old now) of the carbon fiber version for around $300, but I'm glad I didn't. AUTOart actually re-released these cars this year, and while it wasn't cheap, for the price of what would have cost me for one, I was able to buy both the carbon fiber test car & the white race car version.
First one from AmiAmi actually was actually missing the gear shifter part, so I had to ship that one all the way back to Japan for refund, then buy a replacement on eBay. Carbon fiber one w/white background is the one with the missing shifter. lol
I apologize for this 1/18 interruption!
Given the model quality, you're totally excused ! Ahaha !!
