The Andy Rouse Rover I got off e-bay from a regular on this forum.. It is a white metal kit, it weighs a ton! The other Rover was from an american seller on e-bay. I got it really cheap. I paid more for the postage than I did for the model. That is a converted Heller plastic kit, using a Robustelli conversion 'transkit'. I have two other Rover kits ready to make, I just need to find the time to build them.

The Matt Neal BMW from 1992 is a Baymo resin kit.

As for the Darren Turner SEAT. It is not an official model. It is one I have converted to resemble his car. Quite easy to do with the right decals. I have had some extra decals done.

The 2007 team RAC BMW's are now £10.99 on the RAC website - cheapest I've seen them so far.

07 WTCC car should be fairly easy
Advan decals in place of Dunlop on front/rear bumpers
Different number panels on door, roof and bonnet
Race07 number plate
Different windscreen strip
Union flag on side windows and "C.Turkington" in place of "Turkington"
Oddly, there's also a white WSR logo on the door mirrors which wasn't on the BTCC car.

In my research for the 08 and 09 RAC cars, I have found out that the 2007 model has a lot of errors on it!

Try here for a list of toy fairs. Alternatively pick up a copy of one of the magazines (something like Diecast Collector or Model Mart), they normally have toy fair / swapmeet listings

Toy fairs can be a bit hit and miss, all depends on what you are after.

Alfa Fan has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
The missing Castrol decal is all I noticed.

The models are based on the cars that appeared at the Media day!

Apart from Media day they ran all season on BBS wheels! The wheels on the model are simular to those on Media day but they are not what they raced on.

Yes there are 4 castrol stickers missing, two on the front bumper grilles and one on each front wing behind the wheel. The extingusher and electric cut-out stickers on the bonnet are missing. Also the RAC logo on the bonnet is in the wrong place! Plus a small WSR sticker on the front centre below the main grilles is missing.

The Castrol logos weren't on the car for the first meeting at Brands either. Not sure at what point they arrived.
