Fantastic - now we are into the area that gets me excited . Your Lancia and Maserati collections are especially fab and the Fiat "Memephistopheles" is a real treat. I will callout the Matchbox 75 "Ferrari Berlinetta" though. I was an avid collector of Matchbox when I was a lot younger and still have a lot of them, but this Ferrari was one that always alluded me. They now go for silly money! Thanks for your comments, Martin! There are many more models that I would like to display in my cabinets but, they would get too cluttered. So, I’ll have to do a major rearrangement someday. However, that Ferrari shelf has enough space for a couple more models, so I’ll do something about it, soon! Now we're cooking Julio! As much as I enjoy many British cars, your display of Italians makes it an easy choice You have so many great models of Maserati, Lancia, Lamborghini. While I have some of what you've shown, you really have a pleasing mix of scales, colors and eras. I can now answer my Countach question from yesterday and so happy to see the '51 Gran Luce in such good company. Seeing all of this makes me want to hold on to my Italian cars no matter what Some nice Japanese pieces too! Who makes your NSX? That's one I've always failed pursue. I actually like both generations of that car too... Keep them coming Julio, this is as enjoyable as the books! Thanks, BB! That NSX was part of one of those popular partworks series. I found it long time ago at eBay. Thanks, mate! I do too, they’re filled with memories from my childhood! Great to see your collection and displays! Thanks, Tom! I still have a couple of shelves to clean and rearrange…

Great displays especially of course the British models, not that I am biased at all The foreign cars are okay I guess ha ha. Actually I do have a few of those either in cabinets or packed away. On Sunday I visited the local toyfair and bought that Corgi Toyota GT to kind of replace the one that I got as a present I think at Xmas 1967. I still have both the original and its box but the car got subjected to my craze for putting racing decals and numbers on it thus I bought a nice clean unboxed example. I will of course still keep my original car.

As I child I tended to do precisely the opposite, so I removed the decals of a few of my Corgis: a Ford Capri, a Porsche 917 and the Saint’s Volvo! 😅

Impressive collection, that 1:12 is huge! Thanks, Tom! That MINI is one of the three 1:12 models in my collection. It’s a beautifully made dealer edition model, done by Kyosho!

Julio...I see why you want a another MINI with those constant reminders
Yes, that 1:12 is a MAJOR MINI! Looks very well done! I too owned several 1:12s. Own in the past tense since I sold them all with them being so big! If you're curious, I had an early Jaguar E-Type Coupe, Early 911 & Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. All bought in '17 and sold by '18. I've been tempted since then, but no way until I have some s-p-a-c-e!

I think that the only 1/12 model I own is a 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible which is a car that I would like to own. Sadly the BINI is not on that list . Sorry Julio. That said you have a great collection of them, I didn't know that there were that many made!

There are far too many MINI reminders in my collection, BB! 😬 That 1:12 E-type must have been gorgeous! Impressive display of Mini's! Thanks, Jerry! And they are only a fraction of all the MINIs in my collection! I think that the only 1/12 model I own is a 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible which is a car that I would like to own. Sadly the BINI is not on that list . Sorry Julio. That said you have a great collection of them, I didn't know that there were that many made! First generation MINIs were extremely popular models and came in many different scales! I have around a hundred! Oh, now I understand your MINI obsession . And you’ve seen nothing yet, Martin! HaHa!

This weekend I added more models to my British cars cabinet, that’s why I rearranged the MINIs! The Bentley shelf, with the first Oxford, Minichamps and Spark models displayed in my cabinets! I added this cool looking Dongguan model to one of the two Rolls-Royce shelves: I reserved a shelf just for Daimlers, including the first Matrix and Oxford models in my cabinets: There are more Jaguars in the Jaguar shelf now, including several Oxfords, a Dongguan and my favourite XKE model: Aston Martin, Lagonda, Bristol and Jensen share the next shelf, including some more Dongguan and Oxford models. Bottom shelf: some Lotus automobiles and in the background a couple of Austins and some race cars. I’m not sure if all of these will remain. Aston Martin deserves much more space… I also added a Fiat and a Ferrari (with numbers) to their respective shelves in the Italian car cabinet: By the way, the red XKE, the DB5 and the white Fiat convertible were all gifts from Andy! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
