Out of this batch I really like the Austin.

Nothing for me again I'm afraid, as apart from the Austin I already have models of these cars.

There's one there that I will have to have. **
The little 1300 GT reminds me how good looking these cars were in their day.
** the Caimano of course!

Yep and yours is a very neat build, too!
As I don't have the Alezan, I pre-ordered the Matrix.
BTW I just received my Alfa P33/2 Pininfarina by Matrix, and tried to compare with the Spark's version and real car pictures.
I expected Matrix to be "superior" in details and accuracy and guess what?.. none of them are "perfect".
In some areas Matrix has a better body shape but overall Spark looks better. The engine compartment looks better on the Spark (hello?!!!), the wheels are better on Spark but the colour seems more "lime-yellow" and correct on Matrix.. The interior looks also a bit better (in terms of colours and seat pattern) on the Spark... They also measure differently and have a slightly different shape looking from above (Matrix has a wider rear half while Spark has a better shaped nose). I guess I should make a check-list for all the details comparison.
Long story short: I couldn't make up my mind of which one to sell, will have to spend some more time overthinking it as I don't really need 2 models of the same car..

The Alezan Alfa is a factory build so you'd expect it to be pretty good.
Sounds like the Spark Alfa P33/2 is the winner; body shape, engine compartment, wheels, interior are all better in your opinion - it's a no brainer!

Technically it does sound more accurate but in hand Matrix looks more realistic.. I guess I should take some comparison pictures to illustrate. |

The Robin will be coming this way. Not glamorous but I always thought Ogle did a good job on the design.
The Jensen and Alfa are new colours on previously released models.

The Vignale does hold some attraction for me, depending on what the total cost of getting one “imported” will be. They are now upwards of A$200 which is a real roadblock for me for me, especially for a non-numbered car. I do have a Matrix Supergiello but it is a wire-wheeled version so may pass on this one.

One for you Jerry. Doesn’t fit my schemes but looks lovely: Matrix: a new model concept of cars under covers with the fist offers being a Ford GT40, Lola T70 & Ferrari F40 plus Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Boano Primavera 1955, Jaguar XK150 S 3.8 Fastback By Hartin 1960 & Kalmar Daf (Tjorven) 1971 all in new colours... bit.ly/3WIe98v |
