Hi. I am a very big collector of 1/18th scale models (Die-Cast). I searched for the C Coupe and found that Maisto makes one. The car is only available in Silver and I think a dark green. I know a company out in Europe that will remove the old paint and custom paint any color we want. The price is a bit expensive though, $85 shipped to my house, plus another $10 shipped to yours. If you live in NJ you can come pick them up. Each order will take a few weeks to make since the model will need to be taken apart and sanded down.

The link to the model can be found at:

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Erik

My mother in law bought me one at BJ's Wholsale for 10 bucks in silver.

1/18s are available in Brilliant Silver and Capri Blue.

1/43s are available in Brilliant Silver, Orion Blue, Citron Green, Magma Red, Paprika Red and Black.

I understand they are normally cheaper, the price hike is for the custom colors. Anything not silver or blue. I ordered a black car, so I don't want a silver one on my desk....

I thought you can order current any model in any current color from your MB dealer or the catalog they mail out....

I bought mine off of e-bay, though. My 1/43 Orion was $9.00 and my 1/18 Capri(repainted with Ford UltraBlue) was $24 + 3.99 for the paint and a dollar for the masking tape....and a few home brews...what an afternoon!

I've seen the one at Sharper Image. I would buy it if it had the c7 wheels on them, but it's not.

Anyone know where I can get one with the c7s on it?

If you get a Capri blue one from a MB Dealer it should come with the C7/Evolution wheels (make sure it's the official MB/dealer release version that comes in a Mercedes box - some dealers simply stock the regular Maisto version). I actually bought one of these and a regular silver one - then switched the chassis and painted the door handles silver - voila, silver C7!

Thanks Trench.

Where in the bay area do you live? Have I seen your car around?
What color?

trench

I live in Mountain View, work in San Jose but drive all over the place. My car is a silver C7 with no pana-roof (probably the only thing that would differentiate it from most of the other silver C7s out there).

Do you normally take 85? If so I think I've seen your car several times. I live in Santa Clara and works at south San Jose. Horn if you see a white base coupe with blue fog lamps and yellow brake calipers

I primarily use 101 to commute. I do use 85 pretty often, but usually later in the evening.

One of these days we should have a Bay Area GTG.

I used to work in San Jose at Valley Fair. I'm sure you guys know where that's at.

We should have a get together. I live in Hayward.

Oh! That must be someone else then
I remember kineda once asked me about a Bay Area meet, but never heard from him since.

trench

There used to be a guy on here called benzomonterey that tried a couple of times to schedule a GTG, usually only one other dude would show - so he gave up. I think that now that there are more Bay Area Coupsters on here now, we might have better success scheduling one now.

Tifosiv, sorry but I can't find my old invoice, yet anyway.

Someone else on the forum emailed me about 4 months ago, and I found the info and he got one. You out there?

And just now I was checking the sites and it is not etoys it was http://www.etoybugs.com/ and now it looks like the site is down. Today anyway:
