Default 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.

Docbrock:
Scroll down the die-cast section until you see a thread "Diecast Misposted Under....."
I have attached several pics of my collection including a few C3s.I live near Niagara Falls Ontario Canada,but usually able to ship from Niagara Falls New York to save shipping costs.

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.
