Interesting? A one off uncompetitive 'special' is launched before multi title winning Rovers, Volvos etc...?
I wonder what the decision making policy is at Minichamps or Autoart?
How is it decided what models are considered more appealing or collectable than others? I know both these firms are based in Germany I think but the coverage needs to be made wider.
Maybe the car manufacturers or license holders haven't allowed these model firms to make them yet?
I suppose in Biante's case there is an agreement for Autoart to build and supply the ATCC cars under license?
Maybe we need someone in the UK to do the same, like Corgi/Vanguards then we might get some more 1:18 classic BTCC cars made?
Even then, i'm sure touring car fans around the world would love to have a Bastos or Sanyo Rover, Rouse Kaliber Sierra, TWR Win Percy RX7, James Weaver 635 or a Gordon Spice Capri. (in the Sierra and 635 case, the base models are already available, it would simply be a case of making new liveries!)
Surely the market for such releases wouldn't be limited to UK only and make commercial sense so to speak?
