Looking for a Jaguar XJ6 model...

Now I'm reluctant to believe this, as I get the impression that there's a scale model for virtually every car built in the world. I told him my pals at TNF would know the answer to every automobile-related question, so please, don't let me down!
Any takers?

12 or 15 years ago I had the stupid idea to buy a model (1:24, 1:18) of every car I owned. The result was - nil, zero, nada, although I checked every catalogue available!Originally posted by fines

Actually Solido models have a habit to break something even if you look at them roughly...Originally posted by Vincenzo Lancia
Solido's once made a 1/43 series II xj12. I think it have been reissued rather lately. But it's probably too much of an industrial toy. I gather you can even drop it on the floor without braking anything.....

bertocchi - Don't crush it! I'll be worth it in the end! Driving a Jag is the best cure for road rage there is.

More doo-doo. Didja know that the Borg-Warner gearbox in the Jag was original equipment in a Nash Rambler? Oh...now you tell me.
I don't wanna hear any tales of the Chevy engine/gearbox swap. Mine is original...right down to the Lucas...Dear God send help...
What's the Australian movie about the kid who buys a Jag with a Chevy engine in it?

Sorry to go off topic, but I think it depends on which Solido-models we're talking about. I have looked VERY roughly or should I say intensively on my three 917's the last 27 years, and not even the left hadlamp on the van Lennep/Marko (nr22) car is broken.Originally posted by dmj

Can't think of the name of it at the moment, but weren't the stars Ben Mendleson and Claudia Karvan? The car salesman played a good part too; know his face, can't think of the name.
Very good movie, I've seen it a few times.
Ah, bits coming back to me... He traded his father's immaculate Nissan Cedric on the car...

A bit of IMDBing revelas it was "The Big Steal", 1990. Steve Bisley (who was in a UK detective series of some description at about the same time) was the salesman.
Same folks made "Malcolm" which is a very nice heist comedy.
