    Does anybody know who makes a model for the 550 GTS built by Italtechnica that raced in the ALMS under Olive Garden green livery in the US then later raced in Australia under the Cooper Ale red livery? I used the search function but didn't find anything. I also Googled but can only find some MG models for the Prodrive built 550 GT.

    Thanks in advance for any tips.

    I dont think that there is a bigger scale
    but there are enough modelbuilders around to build a 1 : 18 street car into a one off for you

    I don't know if that is exactly what you're looking for, but they can build you whatever you want.

    Thanks Joe. From the description that should be the car. I then went to MG Models web site and apparently MG18.09 is discontinued. Good lead though. Maybe some one will have one from MG Models somewhere. I have now found a 1:43 BBR model of the car in its current Cooper Ale livery when it raced its final race at 2004 Bahrain Festival of Speed.
