Don’t laugh, but as I read the specs printed under the model for a sec I thought that was the size of the model and wondered how the heck that model was so big.....only to realize these are the specs for the actual vehicle.

Seeing a couple links to another for sale, but even that stating how rare it is. There's a gold version as well. Nice pick up there, MG.

^Even with all the Super and Hyper cars, the 2000GT is one of the few vehicles I would like to see in person.... with the Ferrari F40 being the only Super car I'd want to see first hand.

That’s the Autoart Initial D AE86. A really well made model.

The only other model that I need for my collection is the Ignition Model Datsun 510 1/18. They’re hard to find and those that I see for sale are too pricey. But I’ll keep looking....

Just regular ebay links, eh. Seller might have more info though.

There was another one for sale on another site, but couldn't find it.

Gold

Bronze

The bronze cooler though, that patina can't be beat.

That Kadette model looks really good. Another classic car that I would like to see (and hear) in person is the Mazda Cosmo. Sadly I only have a model to drool over.
