So many new Matrix Fords out in the past month or so, The Mk II Cortina 1600E and the Mk II Zodiac. Now I see there is GT70 and 1969 Country Squire.

…and a glorious green Chrysler! 💚 I have twice missed buying the black version at a bargain price on two live online auctions. The first sold for 25 pounds, the second two weeks ago for 35 pounds. I had trouble logging on for the first auction and just missed the second model by minutes after my garden guy turned up two days later than planned and by the time he had gone the auction had started. I did manage to bag a couple of J&M Classics for 30 pounds each though, a 50s Daimler Conquest DHC and a 30s Alvis roadster. Not bad for models that cost 80 pounds 20 years ago.

I didn’t buy the black version and have always seen it horribly expensive at eBay. So, this time I hope to be able to buy this green version!

It does look a little heavy, but that's probably emphasised by the track being too narrow.

I ordered one last night. I'm realizing now it isn't a Matrix but rather a Avenue 43.

I'm still on the fence over this one and I was looking forward to it but it doesn't quite hit the spot. Luckily I still have my old Corgi version.

My orders in for the Bugatti T57C Cabriolet and the Bonnier Opel truck. Very tempted to add one of the 1949 Astons as well!

Lovely stuff, very spendy though. Here's hoping for some photography victims.

Very nice Anglo-Centric choices. The Aston Martin Ogle is particularly interesting. The wedgy Lagonda is too, however Minichamps has already done a great job with it, albeit in more boring colors.

All of the Astons look great!
It’s strange that they reissued the Shah’s Bugatti!
