    So, I've been looking at the CMC 250 SWB and the BBR 375+ for quite some time. I noticed that the red CMCs seem to be in shorter supply on ebay lately, so I broke down and bought one last week. Still waiting for it to arrive.

    Then I was making the usual rounds and found that there was but one single 375+ on ebay to be had. Put in a bid and rode it out. Just paid for it. So now, I've bought a pair of pretty expensive models that I've wanted for some time. I'm pretty excited to add them to the other 65+ 1:18 F-cars I have. Does anyone have pics of their 375, I have not seen pics of cars except small manufacturer shots... also, is it truly a limited edition?

    I have had both of them for some time now.The 375+ was my B-day present last november and I bought the 250 GT SWB long before that.You made a wise investment in buying both of them as they are sure to get higher in value.
    Here is the only picture I have taken of them.

    Be very careful of removing the belts on the 375's bonnet. It took me forever but seeing what is underneath is definitely worth it.
    If you like some more pics let me know.

    What he is talking about is the 1:18 BBR 375+.Other than the Enzo it is the only one BBR made in 1:18.

    The code number for the BBR 375 Le Mans version is HE180003. The Enzo is HE180001. I have no idea what HE180002 is, as no such number appears on the BBR website.

    One thing that you might miss on the 375 I found by accident - when you turn the rear wheels the driveshaft turns. The point being, the features are just not on top -- the undersides are equally amazing!

    So... the SWB arrive on Monday, from Dallas. And the 375 just arrived from Hong Kong (pretty fast shipping) - I must say, they are simply stunning. I thought my Exoto T4 was nice - it is, but these are certainly in a whole different leauge. Fantastic. Now all I need to do is order another display case, as mine are full...

    (laughs to self...) I had my 375+ for about two (2) weeks before I got up the nerve to undo the hood belts to see the engine's details.

    Yes, that's a magnificent model, now I want to get the CMC SWB to add to it.
