Emira on order
Certainly not Exoto quality, but very nice for $28. Mirrors swing out, doors open, engine cover opens, etc.

The only miss is that the calipers rotate with the wheels, so I'll block the wheels in the correct position.

Obviously the same model. But I think Amazon only has the grey version.
 
I've taken a chance and splashed out £12 on the off-chance that Ali Express actually deliver it. I'm not holding my breath but heck for that money it's worth the risk.
 
I've built a bunch of Emira 1/32 scale slot cars using 3D printed bodies. Mostly street cars, three GT4's. The street cars were not finished to a high degree because I built them to be run at the Lotus Owners Gathering (LOG) two years back in Canaan Valley, West Virginia. Set up a large slot car track layout, reasonably approximating the Hethel Test Track. I figured since they'd be run by people who didn't own them, they might get rough handling, and I was right. I've got another dozen or so Emira bodies waiting to be assembled.

They don't have Nimbus Gray though...pity.
