You could say the same with the Sunstar models. They are just as detailed as the minichamps models but seem to be as expensive, if not more so. I feel the same as you, I'd really like one but could never justify that sort of money. The real sized cars can suck up that sort of money very easily !

If only I could find a model of a trafalgar blue saloon it would be straight on my Christmas wish list… But, to echo others, I think the £180 would be better spent on the real thing!

Not being into model cars, I've never heard of them so I took a look at Youtube to see what reviews might be on there.
Quite a few videos, mainly reviewing their F1 cars, and there are varying opinions on their quality, some saying great, others saying not so good, especially considering their pricing point.

I got the white traveller off someone on facebook marketplace for £35. It's a fantastic model. They also had a couple of saloons for the same price.
