Even dafter thing - can you help
My grandson is a bit of a petrol head even at 4 1/2 years old  . His loves his model cars more than any of his other toys, now here's the
problem. He's got a matchbox poster for his bedroom and on it is a Caterham R500 'just like Grandad's kit car', obviously
it's not exactly like Grandad's  but never mind. I've tried everywhere I can think of but can't find one, anyone got any
ideas where I could get hold of one?

That's a price and half for model car 
My lad's (4 & 2) are both nuts on their model cars and I'd love to get them a 7, but they're quite happy with the £1.99 Hot
Wheels cars

That's £29, he's 4 1/2 years old, he wants to play with it not put it in his display cabinet .
Matchbox definitely do one which should be well less than a fiver, it was a new model in 2010, I just can't find one.

Its at the race track itself in the sunday market bit but is open all week round (I think) Its a massive warehouse sized shop, it really does have to
be seen to be believed.

I would also second the snetterton race track model shop, worth a call at least
and if your local enough, get down there one weekend when theres some racing on, the boy will love it.
RC car racing makes all kids smile, from 2-92 year old 
RC bikes arent racing there until next year now, but model cars are regular, 1:10 to 1:5 scale
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

We're very local to Snetterton and my grandson made his first visit (BTCC) when he was four months old, he didn't seem too interested at
the time to be honest

My son (2) is also obsessed with cars (could it be genetic? He's mad about the 911 too like his mum) so if I spot one I'll get one for you
too?
