Default Mini models of your baby?

So I've been looking out for a model car of my SC but cant find one anywhere. How many lexus owners have models of their cars. Were they hard to find? Any SCs around? Just thought I'd ask.

I have a dub 1:24 version of my car. I think it looks pretty similar but I don't have spinners!
