Minichamps Renault Showcar Promos

In addition to the Fisichella & Kovalainen show cars, it appears Minichamps have produced a further two versions of the Renault R27 2007 1/43 Showcar without driver figurine. These two models have been doing the rounds on ebay recently.

The first is in the normal Minichamps box. It is a promotional model for new sponsor ING. It is thought that around 100pcs have been produced which have been given to ING employees / associates. There is no UPC code on the box.

The second is a promotional model by Minichamps for Team Renault itself. It comes on special base in slightly larger Minichamps case with Renault cardboard sleeve. It isn't known how many have been produced, although the fact it has been rarely seen on ebay and hasn't been available from online retailers suggest the number is pretty low.

If anyone knows anything more about these models / where to get them drop me an email.
