This is located in Flitwick, Bedford and I'm in Australia. So it's a bit complicated for me. The story is in the ad. Seeing as there's a few people in here actually resident in the UK I thought I'd put this up here and see if anyone's interested.
I kinda need this to sell because I'm using up favours fast in having it stored in the UK for me and getting it posted out here via Royal Mail is not an option because of cost. It will cost as much to post it as it would to just buy it again here in Australia from the local hobby shop. If anyone can help me to get rid of this it would be much appreciated. I'm not willing to give it away though. Thanks.
No I haven't Tusker. I have posted it on BigCoupe though. I'm not a member of that forum. Could you copy and paste it on there for me? I doubt I can get through the registration process before the auction ends.

I am very surprised the James Bond Car Collection hasn't been jumped on by a lot more Americans actually. I had quite a few extras and was expecting them to be snapped up by Americans since the collection isn't sold over there, but nup. I had the Lotus sub from The Spy Who Loved Me, the Z8 from The World Is Not Enough, two Aston Martin Vanquish from Die Another Day and the two 2CVs from For Your Eyes Only. All the others sold relatively quickly, but the 2CVs are proving to be harder to shift, which is strange because to me it's one of the most interesting and most iconic James Bond cars there has ever been with the possible exception of the Lotus sub and the DB5.
I got the extras because in the early days of the subscription, they didn't have the packaging down very well and the first few deliveries were arriving damaged with cracked and chipped diorama display cases. Everytime one would arrive with any damage, I would complain fiercely and they just sent me replacements without me having to return the damaged ones. They send them as shipments rather than individual models, which means in pairs. So even if only one model was damaged, I got two as replacements! Neither of the 2CV models are damaged in any way. They are both perfect. It was the other model in that particular shipment that was damaged and the reason for the replacements being supplied.

Cool! Most of the time, I manage to find the stuff with it is clearance/discontinued and I buy what I can... so I have lots of random stuff.
