Default Chasing a model XB coupe

I am trying to track down a decent sized model of a XB GS Fairmont but have no idea where to look. All the shops on the web show out of stock.
I wasn't sure if there was a special place to look for these types of collectables and was hoping somebody might be able to help out. Especially after seeing some of our members car collections.
Its for a mate who has a Port Wine GS coupe with Black vinyl roof so I was trying to get it as close to that as possible. A GT would do.

Cheers

Not sure if any companies did XB GS coupes. There were a few XB GT coupes in different colours (I've got an Apollo blue one myself) and the John Goss specials.

I bought a wild plum XA coupe from a die cast shop at Everton Park. But a quick check of their online shop shows that the only XB's they have are in racing livery.

I suppose its going to be a case of right place at the right time and then it will only be something similar. I wasn't sure if the model companies did a full range of cars. Wouldn't mind a nitro turbo ute as well.
