MG MGF Technical - Scale models TF, MG7

A relation has brought me from the MG Dealership in Beijing these rather nice 1:18th scale MG TF and MG7 models. The detail on these is very good, even the buckles on the fabric seat belts slide up and down! (The Corgi MGF looks crude by comparison) I was wondering if these are also available in the UK and anywhere else? Has anybody been collecting these? The models are marked "Nanjing MG Motor Company Ltd". The manufacturer of the TF is Ricko (marked only on the box). No manufacturer is marked on the MG7. The Ricko website catalogue does not list these.

Cheers,
Matthew.

Those are very good! Who is the manufacturer?
Rob Bell

The TF is manufactured by Ricko, who have a website, and I assume they made the MG7 too but there is no marking anywhere. I am guessing these are official MG company models?

every now and then you might trace the TF model on ebay. As a group we bought a number of TF's. unfortunately quality is far from as it should be alltough the model as a number of very fine details.
My sample suffered from missing decals and paint damage.

Kasper, did your group buy from Ricko, from the MG company, or from a shop?

Cheers,
Matthew.

They look like great quality - MGOC, get on the phone to them!!!

Mine is branded as "Nanjing MG Motor Company Ltd." both on the box as at the bottom of the car.

All features as Matthew mentions are on the car. But mine was incomplete and damaged. I guess there are various outlets with different qualities so be aware to source a reliable supplier.
