1/43 MG Metro 6R4 definitive list

Sigh....  

I don't remember that song, was it the name of an album?

I know, if only I'd have bought the Price car then  Have the rest all on Skid/Ixo bases apart from the GPM prototype of course

I should have bought both of Xav's models, they were bargains 5 years ago when I was offered them.

Agreed, my chioce was to buy a Mk2 escort model for my dad's birthday or a 6R4 for myself. Oh well  

As you guys know, I had them both, but sold them in 2009 when funds were tight, along with my KMD Coleman car!

One day they will be in my collection once more.

Guys, I should have been looking at this thread Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, but I got here early, That's All!  

'Jesus He Knows Me' was a single released from the Genesis album 'I Can't Dance', from 1996 (I think that's the right year - I remember driving to 'Our Price' records in Weybridge at lunchtime the day it was released and taping it straight away to play it in my car. Those were the days!! ).

11 years ago, I didn't know there were any 1/43 scale 6R4s in existence apart from one I'd seen in the model shop in the grandstand at Brands Hatch. It was on display but not for sale - beutiful model with Will Gollop's black, red and gold 'Silkolene' livery. Took me quite a few years (that was back in 1987) before I got one myself!

Cheers, Steve

That was 1992. I was listening to their Greatest Hits (from 1999) just yesterday, as part of my effort to go through my entire music collection in alphabetical order. Only have one Genesis CD so that part went rather quickly, followed by Kraftwerk and now moved onto Led Zeppelin.

I only started collecting 6R4 models after I had codriven in one. Looking back at my collection in 2010, it seems there's a load of Code 3 models being released now.

I ordered that one. Just waiting for him to get back from holidays to get it all sorted.

Tut, come on Dave... ...the database is out of date.  

I'll email Vitor for his missing order numbers as well mate.  

First time I've heard of them  

Juha mentioned them to me a week or two back, but I was waiting till he'd received his before ordering my own and saying anything to yourself or A N Other about them Dave.  

It's nice because it's a different version that Vitor's!  

Cool, no prob... Updated  

Cool, and I know of no others!  

1992 - yes, thanks Juha. 1996 was 'Calling All Stations'.   Doh!

I'm in the process of getting my daughter listening to Genesis and ELO albums, two of my favourite bands. I've realised I hadn't listened to a Genesis album right through for 2-3 years, which I've put right!! I'd have known the release date off the top of my head at one point. Small, four-wheeled projects have taken my time in recent years!  

Cheers, Steve

Talking of small, four-wheeled projects... ...cough cough!  

There's another one missing Dave...

SJ MODELS : 1/43rd scale Code 3 diecast
• SJM001 - 1991 British Rallycross Grand Prix - Carnegie - 'Total' : Limited to 10 only!

...and how could we forget such a quality model, especially as it's from a fellow forum member!  

Done  

Well done fella, these new additions are keeping you busy.  

Not as busy as the 1/43's I'm code 3ing

I bought a set of these decals back in May but they are still sitting with all the other decals waiting for enough 'spare' time to get them done

So what does the quality look like Simon, and are they along the lines of Carlo's / Vitor's decals, ie not having individually shaped varnish?
