Cool ! I have been waiting to order one of these and can now rest assured that I'll get an LCI version if the delivery date is pushed back to september. However I'm half tempted to wait until next year in case they put a B58 into it. What are your views, guys ? And will the headlights be full LED's do you think ?

...I think the delay is due to production problems making the miniature P4S'

Just got another email today, the delay was maybe the differential recalls?

Looks like the BSM model is now available in Minichamps' store. Other colours are still pre-order

At my office they have a long tradition for when employees acquire a new professional license. The president of the firm will buy you a "new car" of your choice. (1/18 scale) They have always been able to meet every request, even weird obscure models from people that try to stump them.

I recently got my license and guess which car I asked for?

Since this car was impossible to find I gave them a back up choice of a 2002tii turbo. Let's see what I get next month. Either way I'll get the other car and the pair will look great on my desk!

Would be great if you could get them customised, black kidney grilles, your own number plate etc.

I know the guys on the 1addicts forum were able to do it through a contact at Minichamps on the 1M model a few years ago.

Got mine today, fabulous quality! Wish I could swap the black grills and carbon mirror caps from the Safety Car 1/18 that minichamps make!

I contacted Miniatures Minichamps to ask about the availability of an Alpine White M2 model and received this reply: "For now only in Black, Blue and Grey. Maybe a white version later but not confirmed for now."

So, if you're looking for a white model, it probably wouldn't hurt to send your request through the company's contact page at: https://www.miniatures-minichamps.com/gb/nous-contacter.

I went to their website to order and the price, tax included, was € 74. Then I completed the order and the price went up to € 89 ! Plus € 9 shipping within France. I cancelled. It said there were 10 models in stock by the way.

It was 15 left before I ordered, that was around 12 hours ago, guess they're going pretty quick.
