I don’t really consider myself a collector of rally cars, but Mini GT has made their rally models, be they Lancias or Fords, impossible to resist, including this wonderful model from Hyundai!
Mini GT never fails to impress me. If only the prices where a tad bit lower where I live. A regular Mini GT (not a Kaido House or anything) costs between INR 1699 and 1999 in my country India, which today equals PHP 1198 to 1398. I remember you saying that those prices would fetch me a TLVN in your country. And I won't even mention how Tomica Premiums (although I suspect they may be legal grey imports) cost INR 1300 (PHP 909) after the original importer here stopped selling them.
Considering how we also suffered from overpriced Kyosho models a few years ago I can sort of relate. It’s really hard when there isn’t a proper distribution channel and you have to deal with grey market prices. I hope they adopt a better distribution strategy eventually for your country; it is a pretty vast potential market for them, after all. BTW, Kyosho models never stopped being overpriced here; I just stopped buying them.
Thanks for watching! Apologies that the image isn’t as clean as it could be, I shot this at night so lighting wasn’t optimal. Also I forgot to clean the lens.
