    I found this...very expensive.

    Would you pay this for a resin 1/8 scale Rolls Royce?

    I paid that for full sized car never mind a model!

        Not very detailed for a model at that price. The BMW badge is not even on the front.....

        Mind you I have seen even more expensive model cars.....

          All depends Si.

          If you are a "true" R Royce collector, I'm sure you pay it...

                    Yes but I bet it wasn't a Rolls Royce!!

                    As with everything else its each to thier own. If someone is prepared to pay that for the model then good luck to them all. It keeps a small business going and keeps a few more pounds in taxes going in the right direction. It's not for me personally but whoever is prepared to pay such an amount I'm sure will get enjoyment out of it. There are a lot of people who could not see why I pay what I do for steam plant items but its none of thier business anyway.

                    I also suspect there are many people out there who cannot understand why grown men would waste thier time and money gluing bits of plastic together to make toy planes!!

                    As I said, each to thier own.
