Carousel Lotus 38 Indy

[89AKurt]

Wanting information about a Carousel (brand I have never heard of) Lotus 38 Indy race car, 1/18 scale (weird scale for me).

Met someone whose dad recently died, member of the model club let us know he had a collection.  I have not seen it yet.  From my search on eBay, it seems to be rare and expensive, holy cow!  I told them it's the holy grail of the collection, I'm not taking advantage of them to steal it.

Carousel 1 made many nice 1/18 scale cars. I don't think they're still in business. 

That's a little overpriced. I see three, one with a buy it now at $399.99 plus a reasonable shipping:

Second one at $450 free shipping:

Third one across the pond at $527.08 plus high shipping, but they'll take a best offer.
