Tecnomdeol will be releasing a limited number of four 1:18 Jauhar XLS in racing livery. Each example is limited to 95 pieces and made of resin. Steeet date is scheduled for late September. Suggested retail 219 Euro a piece. We believe AUTOart went down this path with solid diecast metal and opening bits. Most ended up in the discount bin!

AA only made the #12 car, and they still sell for £100+; not discount bin at all. These look better than the AA for shape, and they have more detail (like the light above the number on the #12, Tecnomodel also replicate that model with the spotlights under the bumper) although for some reason Tecnomodel fitted them all with treaded tyres, and the sun strip at the top of the windscreen is inaccurate.
I think there is a missing “illegal” rear bottom oil cooler-spoiler at 1983 version.
