Yeah, I spotted the police car the other day and I haven't seen any by that manufacturer before. A quick search reveals that they seem to be avaliable to buy on German and Netherland websites for about 40 Euros which is about £28. Also a few seem to mention them as new products, as if the manufacturer has just released them. They don't seem to have their own website.

The models look pretty good really.

Here are a few sites selling them

Neo seem to be one of the first to recognise the 300 as a future classic and that there is an interest in them. I've not seen a model up close yet, but they seem to be high detail and I'm informed they are very good.

If they're anything like Minichamps, then they'll be great. However someone was a little misinformed when they named some of the models, that or they based it on Adam's original badging, of 340 GLT!

I wonder if welc628 who won the e-bay one is a V3M'er. If not, who'll be the first V3M owner to get one? :)

Could buy one from one of those foreign websites, or possibly e-mail the ebay guy and see if he can get hold of any more...

Neo do have there own website, there are 4 different 300's they have just started producing, it's the reason I didn't bid on that one... Neo sent me the list of UK distributors :lol: Give me a sec and I'll post them up.

I thought that was another Hostaro kit there Mick... and from the quality of this one, I'd have bidded tbh. It's a superbly detailed 5dr mk3, even down to the correct wheels. Truely awesome, I can't bring myself to build it whilst theres a chance to make a mould from it. Hostaro seem to have gone down from the searches I've done, again when bidding get silly on that one I tried to get one direct from the manufacture... no chance. I'll get some pics up.
