I'm assuming its made by The Beanstalk Group (what a name :roll: ).....they are the only ones i know of that make the GT, I plan on getting the 1:18 version soon (and without those rims)

As said already it is by the Beanstalk group.. I admit I never heard about it before, but when I saw the GT in the metal I had to buy it! It costs like a Maisto but quality is almost Minichamps / AutoArt like! Very well done and must have IMO!

here it is like it should be!

That car is NOT a Beanstalk 1:18 model. It is a mattel, 1/24 scale model with some very nastily made interior and exterior bits. Poor detail etc...etc... However, it is the ONLY production GT I've seen, as even the Beanstalk ones are models of the concept car, which doesn't have the rear bumper that this one does.

Dang, well spotted indeed. The engine bay in fact gives it away now that I look back at it!
