Fantastic collection! If you take them out of the boxes you will have more room and will be able to see them better though.

A very nice collection of models! Amidst all of the finery, I was taken by the Matchbox MOY RR Silver Ghost. It was one of the few toy cars I had as a kid that I actually took care of and is still with me today. 😊

Splendid collection of models Julio, being English I appreciate the British shelves, you have a great selection of cars from shall we say the plusher end of the British motor industry. I have some of those. I saw the black Daimler DS420 limousine, these were very popular in the funeral trade as they replaced cars such as the Daimler Majestic Major for funerals. Some of my family have worked in that trade and my late uncle drove both the limo and hearse version of the DS420 and naturally sadly I have ridden in them on such occasions.

I can only echo the comments of the other guys, very impressive. I particularly like the combination of newer 1:43s alongside older Matchbox, Dinky, etc. models - a nice touch.
In amongst all the exotica, the black Fiat Ritmo really catches my eye.

Fantastic collection! If you take them out of the boxes you will have more room and will be able to see them better though. Thank you, Tom! I’m aware of what you say but, handling and cleaning them is more difficult and potentially harmful (accidentally knocking little pieces off the models). So, for now, I prefer not to take any risks, especially with the more detailed and expensive models. A very nice collection of models! Amidst all of the finery, I was taken by the Matchbox MOY RR Silver Ghost. It was one of the few toy cars I had as a kid that I actually took care of and is still with me today. 😊 Thanks, Jerry! That MOY Silver Ghost is one of the oldest models in my collection!

Thanks for your comments, Paul! I remember those big Daimlers from the first time I visited London, back in 1978. I loved them! I can only echo the comments of the other guys, very impressive.

The 1930 Packard found its place in a corner of one of my cabinets…  |

And it looks completely at home there.

Superb displays Julio, I love looking at them! It's also one of my favourite pastimes, rethinking the arrangement and exchanging models between storage and displays.

Like a museum or really high-end model shop Julio! What a treat to see so many of these together that were shown solo before. Your mix of cars within cases versus off the base does really seem to work and perhaps much safer/easier than taking them off...which we know doubles the space needed. That must be extremely satisfying to enjoy daily, congrats on making it happen!

Very nice displays Julio, I like the old models of Imperials that you have. I see that you have the old Goldvarg limousine, a friend very kindly gave me that model a while ago. You get bonus points for the mint Matchbox '59 Impala, there could be a few of them in my collection!
