Nice additions dinoboy, the CMC Ferrari and Jagermeister 635 in particular.

Added a couple more to my collection:

Autoart 2002tii & Minichamps 1600 cabriolet to match up with my Autoart 2000 touring.




In addition, BMW 328 Mille Miglia #109 to match up with the streamline version (#72)

Thanks Dinoboy. The Autoart '02 series really is very nice.

What the deal with the new Ferrari, looks interesting? Any more info about it?

You need to place an egg cup or ruler next to them to show they are not full size! Brill!

I know this seems really sad, but do any of you guys know anyone that does one off commisions? I know they wont be to detail inside etc, but the basic shape. I am after 1:18 models of all my old cars and the collection is going well but as i cannot get a 1:18 TVR CERBERA i am looking at having one made. Maybe in clay.

Any ideas?

Does anyone have any experience of the Tonka models? I'm after an F40 and they are by far the most affordable option. I'm concerned it would look out of place next to Autoart and Otto models and it will mess with my OCD!

IMO, it will. As will a Burago. Hot Wheels minimum for me. Ideally Kyosho.

Had a feeling that would be the case, thanks. Might have to reduce this years acquisition plan by a couple of units!

Tbh, I'd be looking at the Kyosho version.

FWIW, my most recent addition (gift from the gf) Alexander Calder BMW CSL Art Car - terrible photo apologies.
