It looks close but still not quite as scale as I remember.

HPI do a nice Mondeo that I might have to settle for instead, oh well thanks for all the effort guys

You can send Daryl a pm right here. He'll see it sometime soon and respond and as far as location he's in Corona, California. I just bought some stuff from him through pm so it does work just takes a little time. His id here is Daryl Lane and his website url is http://www.factoryworks.com. I hope this helps.

My first assumption when I saw your pic was that it was the old HPI A4 Audi. Looks like it could be it.

Schumacher UK still list a set of S40 decals so i reckon it was one of theirs, maybe shoot them an email for a pic of decals, then they might know of a shell hanging about?
