Default UPDATED: Minichamps 1/43rd scale 928 GTS

Just bought it the other day on fleabay.... My expectations are not very high but, I have NEVER seen any GTS diecast. Will report back once it shows up.

Here's a pic, what do you think I'm going to get?????

Is it made by AutoArt or some other manufacturer? AFAIK until now GTS hasn't ever appeared as diecast in any shape or size. Hopefully this is something new and will be easily available. I'd like to have at least two.

Prolly not. It's coming from China........ It's like getting a box of cracker jacks in the mail.... A surprise inside and you never know what it is!

I just found a 996 TT in Guards Red. Only difference to my real one is the inside color. Made by AutoArt.

I've been waiting for ages for a GTS to be released. I suspect that this is a precursor to one of the major Brands (Paul's Model Art, Schuco, Autoart, Spark or IXO . . .) releasing a "cleaned-up" version. Being an impatient collector, I would probably buy one of these while waiting for a higher quality one to be released.
