Stockists / Manufacturers of niche models

[MkX]

I was delighted to find a model on the market last year, it was a 1:43 scale Lotus VI ('XML6'), the first model of this car that I'd found commercially available. I bought it for my Dad as a gift as he has a Mk VI. It was pricey but a one-off gift. The Stockist, British Heritage Models, carries a wide range of stock from various niche / small turnover producers.

One of his mates in their Classic Car Club asked me about niche model manufacturers shortly afterwards & I compiled this list for him. Don't expect bargains although there will be plenty of interesting stuff here:-
