looking for a Minichamps 1:12th scale model

RedM6 · #1 04-11-2005, 04:02 PM

Hello,

I'm new here. I'm a great McLaren F1 fan, collecting any information on this supercar. I also collect modelcars, not many, but next to some Ferraris there are also 3 McLaren F1s in 1:18th scale. Since there are not all race-versions, I've also done some modification in order to get a unique one. But what I really miss is one of the great 1:12th scale road cars made by Minichamps, probably a red one since I like the red color on this model. Searching all the German shops without any success (sold out, of course) and being really frustrated by ebay I think this may be a real chance talking to some experts. So, can anyone please help me finding such a red car?

Thanks for your help,

Bye from Germany,

RedM6

Search this forum for posts made by 'mclarenmaniac' and send him a PM. He should be able to satisfy your needs.

Welcome to the forum.

Well,

unfortunatly he hasn't a appropriate red one a the moment. But perhaps there is anyone who can help me. Taking away the color for a moment, is there anybody selling a 1:12 scale model of the F1, in good (or not so good condition), with or without box?

Thanks for your help,

There happens to be one on E-bay right now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

The seller has a feedback of 1 however, if you decide to bid on it take care with your money.

Thanks Spurkey,

I saw the one on ebay, and I'm waiting if somebody buys it. But it doesn't seem very save. I also bought some expensive goods from someone without feedback and I'm totally satisfied. Everything went fine. But in this case I wonder why the only one feedback isn't no longer existing and why nobody else already bought the car since it is already re-listed, now for 100$ less. And, it is still a bit too much for me. You'll have to consider sending a huge amount of money though Europe without knowing if the person really exists in real life. Too high risk. And, if you look at the description, I believe the text given there is from an article where the car was reviewed, in fact, it was written by somebody who had a green one for review, I think. That's too much trouble coming along with this car, isn't it?

But anyway, thank you for your help,

Hi,

Isn't there anybody selling a red 1:12 Mac (any condition - with or without box???). Or does anybody know where to buy a red one? (I know, sold out a long time ago, but perhaps, having luck...)

Please contact me, thanks for your help,

anyone have a 1/12 scale for sale - any color - no box needed if price is right, might even consider a damaged piece. Wish I'd bought when I first had the chance - at $299.00! Go easy on me - I'm broke at the moment.

Which red are you looking for?
Plain red I presume?

The guy looking for a red one was back in May of this year. I'm looking for any color at a reasonable price but I'm very much afraid from what I am seeing on Ebay that I am priced out of the market! I should have bought back when they first came out but I was too busy collecting Formula One and DTM stuff.
