Thread: Best Diecast 1:18

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by David Craig
I did find some information on this forum on diecast cars but it seems a little dated. Currently, what is the best 1:18 diecast I can buy of the North American Elise? Ideally in saffron yellow. I know AutoArt has a 1:43 version but I'd really like one in the 1:18 size.

If you can't find one you like, you might contact Racing Models in the UK. They don't stock new Elise, but do have tons of other Lotus. They might have some ideas. Also, companies that make models.. Autoart Spark IXO Racing Models is a world wide supplier of collectable model cars

There is currently no 1:18 scale model of the U.S. Elise version. The best model in 1:18 scale of the Mk2 Elise or S2( European version 2001-current) whatever you wanna call it, is JADI Toys. They have a yellow version on www.Exoticar.com for 39$. AutoArt has a 1:18 scale Exige S2 for 95$. Cheers, Arne

I might try to get the Jada version. But I'm not sure if they are still in stock anywhere. Does anyone have the WELLY-2003 LOTUS ELISE 111S 1/18 version? Lotus-2003 LOTUS ELISE 111S 1/18 YELLOW DETAIL PHOTO $26.99 Does anyone know if Jada is better than Welly?

Too late. I first ordered the Welley model but the company that sold it said it was out of stock. Then I ordered the Jada from exoticar. They've taken my money and I am awaiting shipment. I've never been burnt on an internet order to date so I am still hopeful. I'll post the end result, good or bad.
