Lancia Flaminia GT by Touring

These are lovely. Would love the convertible. In the meantime, I make do with my Vignale convertible. Probably not so lesser known but not many around.

Iso Griffith

A what??

Grifo man, it's an ISO Grifo!

Surely we all know of this, because we all had the turquoise Matchbox one as kids? I spent ages expecting to see one when I was 7!

I'd blame auto-correct but I'm losing it. Yes, the turquoise one for our younger viewers, mine was the older one when the moulds were still new:

The gold car is a 1972 Series II


The matchbox is a Series I, like this 1968 car

A model of this was the fastest in my Matchbox collection:

But that's not an Iso Grifo

Saw that at Classics in Harpenden a few years ago. Lovely couple that owned it then and had restored it. Griffo is the 1st supercar that I ever went in as a youngster.

Shades of the Alfa 105 series there, too, which is never a bad thing

The Alfa Tipo 33, sublime...

One of the prettiest things ever built, and they are so small.

Next to a modern two-seater, for scale...

What's that, something 2 tons of car versus 3/4 ton of car

How about the Porsche that never was? The Dannenhauer and Stauss. Rather pretty don't you think?

Not heard of those before, but looks a little bulbous to me.

The magnificent Mangusta

This was my favourite matchbox car as a kid and has been in my dream car section of PH since joining as a result. I've never seen one in the flesh though
