Try ebay mate, i recently picked up a 1/18th 80 series vx sahara for $25 (including delivery) off there, certainly isnt the quality of biante/classic carlectables but pretty good quality considering the price.:thumb:

I also have the 65e bathurst phase 3 XY GT-HO

Yeah, I got a dozen or so. All Holdens, mostly V8SC with a the odd road car. I have a few Brock race cars as well all in 1/18th.

Haven't bought any for ages but do have 2 on order, the number 10 VL Commodore that came 2nd to the Texaco Sierras which were later disqualified and the dayglo VK GRP C - last of the big bangers!!!!!!!
