    I like the first one. I really like that color for some reason.

    I have a Griffith, Chimaera, and a couple of Cerberas that I picked up at various shows. They are in some tiny scale, but good quality. They were also quite expensive, at about 45 pounds ($80-90) each. I will post the name of the manufacturer later.

    On TVR's website, they used to advertise models. Have a look around. Those were also frightfully expensive though, IIRC.

    Finally, I found this company last summer: www.spark-model.com. At the time, they only made models of the Tamora and the T550R. The models are small, but well made. I wrote to them and asked if they could make the standard 1:12 models for each car TVR makes, and they said they would stick to the smaller scale but were willing to make a lot of the TVR models. Now, they have. I have a dealer close to me, so if you can't find anyone close to you, PM me and we can work out an arrangement.

    I am going to swing by the shop today, and I will let you know what I find.
    :)

    STS, which stands for Scale Model Technical Services IIRC.
    If you are in England, call around some London model shops and they should be able to tell you carries it. Very few shops do, so be prepared to hunt around. It will make it all the more worthwhile when you do track it down :).
