This 1:43 diecast model was supposed to be out for a while by Autoart, and I finally spotted it today and bought one. But it is produced by IXO instead. The colour is not exactly Electric Blue, it is somewhere in between EB and Indi Blue. The 17" wheel in colour white is not correct although I always ask my dealer how come they do not come in white as an option. Anyway, it is not bad to own one before my 1:1 MCS comes in later this year.

I found out that there is also a DS version. But both of their grille colours are wrong - chrome.

Not to mention they also chromed the mirrors. (or at least it appears so from the photo)

17" S-lites in white are an option in the USA and many other places...I would verify that again with your dealer.

Lucky you. I already asked and the answer is no, we hardly have any option here in Hong Kong except sunroof or no sunroof! What a service!

I got the IXO one the other day too. The photo of the DS is wrong, the mirrors on mine are white. The model itself is not a patch on the Minichamps 1:43rd scale die casts.
