My Model Collection

[chr15b]

Been meaning to do this for ages, few pictures of my collection, nothing special, just random cars i've bought off ebay - some were models of cars i've owned in the past.


First up, BMW Compact. I had a 320Td in an orange colour, this was the best model i could find.









BMW Mini, really wanted one of these when they came out so over the years i've collected a few models of them, this is probably the best i have.






More to follow

Few more:

Saab, got this off ebay recently for 99p, quite impressed with this purchase - box is sealed so i've no open shots.




Mitsubishi Pajero









This was the model that started off collection - this is an exact replica of the car i had at the time, a 5 month old X reg Vectra diesel. having had an older 306 and saxo before it, at the time it was a very luxurious car for a 23 yr old











My dad had one of these, had to buy it when i saw it

This came on the same purchase as the Renault 4 - i was trying to cut down on postage. However very happy with this purchase, it's number 1058 of a limited run of 2000 and cost me a couple of quid.

[chr15b]

Remember i said the Vectra got this collection started, well at the time i went a bit ott with thm






















Another ltd run of 2000 - mines 1362

[chr15b]

Next up was a Megane Coupe, must have known as i'd already started buying models - mine was a 2.0 iDE Privilege Monaco in Monaco blue.


Ltd run of 2000 mines 938












Ltd run of 2000 - no. 1476

[chr15b]

Renault Spider - ltd run of 2000 - 1220












Nissan Primera as driven by Matt Neal - ltd run of 2500 - 1245










BMW Z3 - not as good quality model as some of the others










Fiat Punto










BMW E46 - i had one of these as a company car










Ford Capri - i always wanted one of these









BMW 3 Series - bought at the same time as the red one above - was very cheap otherwise wouldnt have bought - not into models like this really.








Liked the look of this model when I saw it for sale - wasnt too expensive so bought it

[chr15b]

Slightly OT - these are slot cars i picked up, the Plymouth was still sealed until i opened it today

[chr15b]

Another BMW e46 that was bought with the ones above








Peugeot 307 - bought at the same time as the one below, £7 for both posted







Peugeot 206










Focus RS - placed a bid on this about 6 months ago, it had a starting price of 99p and finished at a daft time so figured it was worth a go - won at £5, really impressed with the detail.

Another Mini i bought













Mini pack bought at the same time as above Mini - i like this pack














I bought this when i had a Golf GTI as a company car - the decals dont really do it for me
















I got this as a Christmas present a couple of years ago, floats round my desk.








And this believe it or not came in an easter egg










Currently we have two Golf's - this is an exact replica of one of them.

Nice variety of cars there!
Just goes to show that collecting doesn't have to be expensive, just buying what you fancy that you like for fun rather than buying collectables for investment. May not be worth thousands in years to come but gives you pleasure, so good work!
Keep it up!

It will turn out to be a good investment if anything. I did have the entire line up of Vitesse/Onyx Touring Primera models.

I sold them to clear out my race cars and focus on just road cars. I made a nice profit on them.
