Lovely model of the Gordon-Keeble! Thank you Julio! The model is a nice remember of the experience I retold...
I regret not getting that when they were plentiful. Excellent model and I like the 1:1 a lot too. Hi Tom, it is a great subject from the once very prolific and cheap BoS! Admittedly many of their models are questionable, but this is one of the better ones... Thanks for the link! You're in a very rare club to be near the center of the Gordon-Keeble world!
Great looking car and model. An oddball, but a good 'un. Odd it is Martin...as many of the greatest models are!
Very envious of this car, I like everything about it except for the fact that I do not have one. Jeff, I think many here would say the same thing about each other's collections. One that I ALWAYS admire in your in the Intermeccanica Murena! Nice add Brooks! A very interesting and attractive car/model. Appreciate that Jerry! This model would be right at home in the Oregon museum! Very nice collection Thank you Dcast...and very happy that you made the jump to our new home!
And now we venture into a very non-traditional car, at least for its marque! The Porsche 928 of 1977 to 1995! I think this is a Porsche that even Julio will like

No surprise that I love this. Fantastic shape that still looks futuristic 50 years on, and a great model by Spark!

Good colour for the Keeble though the Matrix baby blue version is equally nice. I notice that the Vintage voltage tv series in which old cars are reconfigured as electric has done one of these. Although I can see some merit in converting old cars that are in plentiful supply, this is just pure sacrilege. I cannot bear to watch such vandalism!
928 is very nicely done; it would be nice if Spark made some more road car models.

To me, the spoiler on the back finishes off the design and makes it right in my eye. Excellent add!

Beautiful model! even with the spoiler. February '86 the gorgeous 928 S1 which is the purest shape formed the cornerstone of my 1:43 collection and I was so besotted that I have 7 in my collection. They are all Solido/Verem in different colour ways. The silver one would be the very last one I'd get rid of!

No surprise that I love this. Fantastic shape that still looks futuristic 50 years on, and a great model by Spark! No doubt Tom, it really was a brilliant design! The model shown even ups the 'modern' factor for me. Always fun to see a bunch of these together as I've witnessed at the Amelia Island Concours/Cars & Coffee. Very nice model of the 928 - Spark have done an excellent job here. Yes, they have. Just wish they did more road cars today Good colour for the Keeble though the Matrix baby blue version is equally nice. I notice that the Vintage voltage tv series in which old cars are reconfigured as electric has done one of these. Although I can see some merit in converting old cars that are in plentiful supply, this is just pure sacrilege. I cannot bear to watch such vandalism! 928 is very nicely done; it would be nice if Spark made some more road car models. An electric Gordon-Keeble? I agree, those folks are just missing the point. I get that electrification will probably has a place in the retrofit world, but gee, at least start with something more mass produced! As stated above, yes, Spark needs more road cars...we cannot be the only fans? Very nice model of my favourite Porsche! Happy you like it Julio! I'm guessing these are a very rare sight in Mexico? An underrated Porsche in my book - fabulous. Underrated but certainly not underappreciated any more Martin. These cars now pull big money at auction if rare optioned or top condition. I was sure i commented on this one? Anyway I like this so much that i have it to. You just did Jeff You probably remember our cars were actually bought at the same time on a cold morning back in 2013! We had some kind of discount/special offer on some Sparks and the 928 hit the basket along with a few others. My records shows a sub $40 price which today buys only about 150 miles in one of these! Very cool Porsche model Thank you kindly! To me, the spoiler on the back finishes off the design and makes it right in my eye. Excellent add! It is a nice touch Jerry. I've always been a bigger fan of these cars 1987-on, but the original is amazing too! Beautiful model! even with the spoiler. February '86 the gorgeous 928 S1 which is the purest shape formed the cornerstone of my 1:43 collection and I was so besotted that I have 7 in my collection. They are all Solido/Verem in different colour ways. The silver one would be the very last one I'd get rid of! 7 examples! You surely are smitten. Any chance of a group photo?
Well, it's a sunny, summer day here in Florida. I live on the beach and even though driving is no longer permitted at tides' edge, the next one brings back strong memories of when people could. The model is marked a 1995, but I'm thinking it looks more 1986? It's well done nonetheless! It just needs some 1:43 girls in bikinis to complete the scene!

Extremely nice looking Jeep model, BB! And, about your guess, you’re quite right, 928s are extremely rare in Mexico. Porsches were not sold in Mexico, from around 1960 up until the early 90s.

Superb, another Ixo win. Your pictures put this on my wish list. I even drove one of those once, albeit with a horrible lift kit and huge knobbly tyres which did nothing for its handling. They're fairly rare here, as you might imagine.
