not sure if they sell those n the US but i don't see why not...
it comes in the Autoart clear display case too... got it for SGD$9
so i guess maybe it be ard. US$4++?

not too sure about the conversion....
wonder why such a small cheap one comes with a case but the big 1:18 ones dun come with one

if it's the same one i have, it's a 1:43 scale by Auto Art. I got mine on ebay for like 23$, which is less than they retail for (maybe yours isn't an Auto Art). I also have the 1:18 version.

In the 1:43 version nothing opens, only the wheels turn. In the 1:18 version, everything opens and the plastic cover even comes off the engine like the real car.

I have seen the car in the Miatae site...

Is there a black one???

Where did you get it?

Can it be made to a key chain?
