I also imported my black/red Autoart! (Obsessive importer?)

I used autofanatics, the duty made it rather expensive.

I think autofanatics also do the R/C cars but cannot export due to them lacking R/F approval for the UK. (your remote control model could cause the central locking on a cruise missile to crash into an ECG machine in a passing ambulance, etc)

I think the establishment's decided we do exactly what they tell us! (off-topic?)

Try Modelzone in Guildford,
I bought my 1:18 Autoart from them and picked up the catalogue which shows all the versions available. If they haven't got any stock they will be able to get it for you within a week. The Maisto models are also good and considerably cheaper but the detail on the Autoart is way better...
Autoart also do 1:64 scale S2000's which are dead cute and come in a lovely perspex box (my boy's got one for his Xmas stocking!).
In fact if you are after any diecast (F1 etc, i collect 'em) give them a try, they're reasonable and extremely helpful,

Cheers,

Sanjay

The Autoart 1/18 is fantastically detailed and is recommended.

Thx for the Guildford tip, Sanjay.
