These cars represent a lifetime of collecting, including the first toy car be ever had, just like Karim. The Corvette set represents press models given out at each model launch. He has maybe 300 or so more cars waiting to be displayed

He brought those with him from the UK. He is also struggling to find a joiner. But there's a guy in Mc Bean Couva I can recommend

Image 029104 has two Senna FW16 Williams F1 Cars, one is the Minishamps non-branded version and the other appears to be the same Minichamps with the Rothmans livery.........that is as rare as rare can be and an extreme collectible. Can you confirm that?
I have the decal set to convert my own non-branded version, but I have not gotten around to it as yet.

Not interested in the group buy thing, but I need a cabinet for some 1:43 cars. Pass on the contact please?

Back to that collection, the owner would not happen to be an author of a few ford related performance books would he?

Surprised you didn't take the man Lotus plaque......

I'll ask him. It's so annoying that u can't get tobacco livery on models anymore. He's an ex GM / Vauxhall man
I really couldn't nick his plaque after he gave me this:
Every Lotus Carlton buyer was given one. Very rare!

Exoto: 1992 Williams F1, FW14B, Nigel Mansell, Drivers and Constructors World Championships winner, 1:18. Out of production and very very difficult to come by.

^^ Very Nice!

Not the best pictures, but hope you like.
Both the Tyrrell 006 and the blue/yellow P34 are signed by Jackie Stewart and Jody Scheckter respectively on the rear wings.

Oh....and that's a 1973 Lotus Type 72E, Ronnie Peterson on the far left of the Tyrell 006.
