Tecnomodel
Randy, Tecnomodels are made of resin in very limited numbers and are very detailed. I imagine their price is driven by their scarcity.

Yes Randy, and counry of origin makes a difference too
I once posted here that in a perfect 1:43 collecting world, all cars would be available in all versions in highly-detailed diecast. There would be no need for resin or white metal.
The world not being perfect, I try VERY carefully to assess whether a particular car will exist in my lifetime in diecast, or if a handbuilt is my only hope. Consequently, I have almost no LE handbuilt Le Mans winners, or even also-rans. I have maybe one WM Ferrari, and that's only because I built it from a cheap kit. But this year I bought two white metal '48 Chevies and a very nice resin '49 Delahaye Saoutchik roadster. Predicting the future is a guessing game, and Spark's new ventures (plus Neo and Ixo's somewhat stillborn Premium X) will cause me to be a little more circumspect on future purchases.
