Looking for a high quality die cast C3 model.
Anyone know who makes and sells good ones? Pretty much the ones I've seen from google searches all look cheap. It may be a while before I get a real C3, so I figure a mini me C3 would be nice to have.
Thanks
Oops, I think I posted in the C3 for sale/wanted... if someone can move to C3 general, that'd be great.

What year? Franklin Mint and Danbury Mint have some high detail 1:24 scale. Auto Art/UT made some high quality 1:18 scale. Welly made a decent 82 in 1:18 scale.

I have both the 1978 Silver Anniversary made by UT, I owned a 1978 Silver Anniversary when I was younger, so when I found this quality model I flipped my lid and knew I had to have it!!!
I also have AutoArt's 1982 Collector Edition, which again is absolutely gorgeous with insane detail. If you are interested in this model I can send you some more photos.
