Just seen an article in MAR Online about the 1990 Ford Cougar produced by Ixo for the "Great Mexican Cars" series.
Looks like quite an attractive model and I wouldn't mind having one, but can only find a couple of sellers in Mexico and they are asking around $100 plus shipping! I'm keen, but not THAT keen. Anyone got any ideas about an alternative source?

BoS made a 1991 Mercury Cougar a few years ago. They would be better quality and probably less expensive. I saw a few on ebay well under $100. The real car was sold as a Mercury in the US. Be not forlorn...

Thanks for that idea. I will investigate.

With shipping that's £100 (US$124) for quite a plain-looking resin model (arguably not as pretty as the Ixo Mexican version) so I think I'll give it a miss, but thanks for trying.

Load an Ebay search, be patient, you'll be surprised what turns up over time.
