Wow, I seriously didn't think anyone made these for our rare cars!
I may have to leave a non-subtle holiday gift hint...

They are JCW Coupe. They are the ultimate models.... highly detailed but very expensive and out of production since many years.

It has been produced by Spark Models (www.sparkmodel.com).

They produce the top cast resin models on the planet. They also issued a black with silver top and interior trim as well as the Challenge racer.

I've been looking for a Spark Roadster for a while. They were about $60 or $70 and I didn't go for it.

They made the Roadster with the S badges without the red calipers.

Be ready now to pay a lot more for any of those Spark Models if you can find them because they are praised by collectors.

Nice finds, the R58 was never sold by MINI in a dealership and are hard to find else where.

This is very rare

Yea, I wish I had those, I think the MINI R58 GT car is NLA, I have seen it on ebay every once in a while.

This one is also rare:

http://www.slotcar-today.com/en/noti...model-1152.php

It had a real life brother.


I heard they made this in the launch part for the 50th MINI anniversary in the r58 MINI coupe' concept, but i have not seen it.

If you're willing to include the Roadster as its soft-top twin then I can go with that!

This entire forum is biased...who are we kidding.

I hate when people describe the roof-line as a backward baseball cap. ****ing infuriates my senses.
