They are releasing Peter Brock Mobil M3s later in the year as well as the JPS Frank Gardner team version, but I don't know if it's their own mold or not.
Methinks i'll need to earn considerably more pennies with all this lot coming out soon!!

If Biante are going to go it alone using their own tooling and moulds then they're exactly the right firm to get a Rover out there surely?

There must be a reason why Minchamps and AutoArt haven't done one, and I can only presume that it was something to do with licensing issues when a certain Mr Walkinshaw was alive or maybe the model makers don't actually know who would grant them permission. It can't be a case of zero interest can it?
