Picked these up for a paltry £20 from Facebook marketplace yesterday.

The 52 Wins one is a Ltd Edition one and are up on the hell pit that is Ebay for a LOT of money. No box but the price is irrelevant as these are for display.







and as an added bonus, mint in sealed box.... F1 2000 1:43

[DrJNA]

I've just received these three, shame they're in the Germany and I'm still in the UK, but looking forwards to seeing them.

Nice additions to my Le Mans winning Porsches and the 919 Evo will go well with my 1983 Minichamps Stefan Bellof Nürburgring lap record Porsche 956.

Would any of you model experts know where these two grilles come from?!

I dusted the table and these two fell out/off my GT40... search as I might, I cannot see where they've come from. I did email Exoto, but haven't had a reply.

Yes, that must be them.... thank you so much for taking the time to search that out!!

It's actually in an area that cannot be seen and cannot be reached - on the frontward side of the rear wheel arches. Thanks to your help, I know where they came from, but will leave them off.

2020 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 winner. Bathurst 2020 was the last round of the season; Van Gisbergen's first Bathurst win; the last Supercheap Auto sponsored race (they became naming rights sponsor in 2005); the last ever race with Holden factory backing (GM shutdown Holden at the end of 2020).

The 1/12 Lamborghini Murcielago 40th anniversary is quite rare. It would look great next to my 1/12 Lamborghini Diablo SE30.

It's an APM, Auto Place Models. I'm not sure if they exist now. They did some lovely models.

FYI I was in Home Bargains (monthly visit for cat food in 80 pouch boxes) and they're selling a perspex aquarium for £12.99

It's the perfect size to display a 1:18

This has gone quiet?

A model of my own car- converted from a Mk IV to a 1500, and resprayed, converted to RHD, seats altered to show dogtooth fabric, home made decals etc.

Thread resurrection. Anyone know when the Maisto 1/18s come back into Costco?
