irrational Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately they are only in the blue as far as I found out. But it is nice that the first issue is the TR2! I am sure they won't be too hard to find globally as they are likely to be more common than the original. I found some youtube reviews of these cars if you want to see about the quality and so on. It looks good I think as there is a few bits of extra info on the originals too. Dirk Edited June 14, 2018 by irrational Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 In the UK, the first edition of this series was sold at a bargain £2.99, so a great many of us purchased the pack, which contained the boxed TR2 together with a surprisingly informative booklet/magazine. On the back of the pack it states that the normal price would be £11.99. I believe Bill Piggott has an original Dinky TR2, and he pronounced himself very happy with this reproduction, with its Dinky cardboard box and the magazine. I'm happy, too, and I purchased a second for my son & grandson. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Freer Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I bought one of those from WH Smiths. I'm thinking of changing the blue colour to seven shades of red to match my car????. Unfortunately I can't alter the panel fit as well to make it even more realistic.???? (I have it on good authority (Stuart) that our panels are divorced....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
