[Diecast/Models] 1/18 UK Autoart supplier - help please

[AllonFS]

I have been trying to get hold of a few Autoart models for a couple of years and no joy. Specifically I am after the Le Mans 1971 Porsche 917LH Martini, 1970 Porsche 917K Le Mans winner and the 1955 Jaguar Le Mans winner. These are allegedly in production but I have tried several online suppliers and models shops and have now had these things on order for probably 2 years or more. I know Autoart are a nightmare for getting hold off, but has anyone got any suggestions?

I have had very limited success on eBay as my 56k modem powered PC always gets beat in the last seconds of a bid. I have seen an example of the 917LH model at Le Mans - so I know it exists, but it was priced at at 90+ euros for a £50 model.

Any help much appreciated.
