p.s.: as he's a direct importer, the prices are quite reasonable. They're planning to open a proper showroom in central Mumbai, very soon.

Thanks, got this one after seeing yours but in 1/18. Wanted to get the in same colour but couldn't find any. There is a Chinese make which makes official volvo and ford 1/18 in plastic. The detailing is ok, dont know if they sell in India

@Shankar - did you get the set which has the lights and enginer sound? Saw one in Landmark @Fourm was nice, might pick it up later.

i have got a couple of these light and sound ones but frankly i prefer the other hotwheels collectors scale models - those are more authentic in my opinion.

Guys, the Minichamps importer has his office at Prabhadevi, and one at Tardeo. PM me if you want contact details.

BTW the Morris Minor cost me 3K. I think that's a fair bit cheaper than what it was priced at Gift Centre.

@zibby: No words here your 007 collection, you got every bond car in there.

@SuperSelect: Congrats on your Morris Minor, please post the pics when you get to it. BTW, could you PM the dealer info. Thanks.
