    Looking for a high quality model to compliment my new 458. If anyone has one they would be willing to part with please let me know. Must be Red/Tan with top down. Bonus points if it has the carbon rear challenge grill. Open to different sizes but prefer 1:18.

    Thank you!

    And while we’re at it: I am looking for a red/tan 488 Spider in 1/18 scale.
    Any leads are appreciated.
    Have been searching for several years.

    No, been looking for several yrs. The 488 never had the popularity the other cars had.

    BBR did make a 1:18 488 Spider in Red and Tan, with black wheels. Product number P18120B. You'd have to find one secondhand though. I'd be amazed if that's the only version they made, but I'm yet to find another Red / Tan.

    Hot Wheels Elite made the 458 Spider in the colourway you want (Product number BCJ89), but again, secondhand market.

    I don't know about MR Models, though I'd expect they've made both cars at some point but you'd need to scour around for them. After that you end up with the Davis & Giovanni style low-volume 'tuner' 458 / 488s.

    Thanks.
    Yes I knew about the 488 red/tan w/black wheels. Was surprised they didn't do more production.
    Aware that i will have to scour the 2nd hand mkt.
    Oh well, the fun is in the chase I guess.

    Sorry but going by original posting.
    The only thing that was incorrect was the interior, I just realized you wanted tan.

    Looking for a nice 1:18 red/tan Italia (not a Speciale and not a Spider). Any leads appreciated.
