I havent seen one but if it is it will be either Xav or P+J Models but as Xav is packing it all in I guess its P+J
Xav brought out three of them, I had them for sale on the site for a while but they were very expensive. Did not have a MacHale one though, that was planned for later.

The ones Xav had, the models where originally produced by Tumik Reiver models which was part of Showcase Models from Cumbria.

Xav did his own liveries for them and as a built kit are as only expensive as you would wish to pay for them.

The P+J Chevette kit I feel isnt as good as the Tumik one as its taller and dosnt look as good but has more detail than the Tumik version
Zav has a DTV chevette on eBay-it could be converted!
In the planning stage for the White car he had but KMD did do the Black version quite a few years ago as I was entrusted with the job of making the RHD dashboards

I never knew McHale had a white M3-there was the white Sierra and the White Celicas. I remember the Black M3 on the 1990 COI-went screaming past me at about 100 MPH on the main Carlow Killkenny road-what a roar out of it.
I think they all sold out unless you email Kevin McDaid at www.kmdmodels.com and see if he has any left of can get hold of one for you
Not planning to make this one myself-its a bit obscure. The white M3-was that before it was painted black in the Extravison colours or was it a different car?

McHale's only outing in the White M3 before it was repainted was in Galway 1990, pictured here at scrutiny

Never knew it was in white -but then I was living on the dark side of the moon-LONDON-at the time.
Was that the car he lost the tarma champ in one year, when he broke a diff in Killarney??

is that the car that Denis Cronin has now??
I think that was Fishers car GXI 9427 was the reg if me memory serves me correctly??
Austin got disqualified from the Manx too for running oversize wheels.
I think Philip Shaw has Austins Old car now, he bought it after Dominic Loughran crashed it.
