I don't own one but by the looks of the pics it's a very decent looking model. See below for examples.
A quick search on ebay showed one result: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tamiya-1-24-Vo...3286.m63.l1177

I do actually have one of those kits which I bought back in the day for about £20 when I didn't even have an 850! (I also have a Taimya magazine with the 850 BTCC kit in it) Unfortunately in a house move nearly a decade ago I lost my paints and stuff which also included the chassis for the model... arg! So I've got a nearly complete kit with the one of the main bits missing.

The other problem is its an estate Does looks really good though in those pictures!

hi, HPI are just making the estates at present,other makers are in line to annouce their models, but they are always changing their minds, so tend to grab what i can when i can, regards malcolmk

I'm certainly interested in learning more about these road going models. Is there anymore info you can share?

[malcolmk]

I've been looking into the 1:18 850 again and have only found a couple more pictures. It looks really, really nice, and very detailed. It's actually nice to see a modern Wagon model...

To be honest, if you Google it, there's a couple of places accepting 'pre-orders' for around £99. It's one I'd love to get stuck into and mod, but at that price, it'll have to collect dust for a few years first... !

Do you know if they are going to be a very limited run?
