eBay my friend
Or get someone like Island Hobbies to order one. There may still be one or two Bburago 1:18 Miura kits floating around on local shelves. It came disassembled...or was it Maisto? Either way, it was pricey but decent

mmmm dat bently
Any particular reason you guys display models with all compartments open? I personally never do that...to me it kills the beauty of the designs....especially on the cheaper models where engine detail for example is not that great anyway...

Oh sorry.
Don't know. I bought it over from my cousin and the car itself doesnt have any manufacturer markings. Just a serial no.
