Show us your model car collection!

[Loose Cannon]

Wow what a cool car. I would live to see one in person. Do you know how many were actually sold? Sounds interesting...

I've only seen pics of this one and a lemon yellow one (which lost the neat headlights and wheels) so 2 at best; maybe only one if the yellow item was the prototype done up to be road legal.. Unfortunately all the websites about it seem to be in Japanese so it's difficult to find facts and figures.

Super nice collection Mike S!

Is it open to the public?

How come you dont have one of Ralfs helmets?

[Vulcan Grey]

looks like a zonda

I guess everything is derivative...

I think the Zonda kinda looks like this Lola T92 (1992)

It's just an optical illusion...

[lotusdogg]

The grey one came from some odd toy set. The cars can be pulled back and then they spring forward. The black stuff underneth connected all the cars together. I don't seem to remember any other details. At the time (many, many moons ago), I was just happy to find another esprit toy.

I know what you're meaning, your collection is a way bigger in a real life than in those photos

OK, this is an official warning, the following is not for the faint of heart. I do not include a whole batch of Lancia Stratos' in another room nor the aircraft collection in yet another.

Ferrari 250 LM's:

WRC Focus' and car books:

Lotus', some overflow Ferrari's (mostly 333sp's) and Land Rovers:

More Ferrari's:

The catch all case, Sunbeams, Saabs and assorted cars:'

All 250 LM's in 1/18 scale:

Shelf on the right and on the floor, Focus WRC's, lighted 'English' wood cabinet, all Ferrari (mostly 250 GTO and 250 LM)

[esprits4de]

The middle shelve is the nicest one... :-)

[OwenGT3]

Im up to 68 in the James Bond car collection, 68 being the white Lotus Esprit Turbo, they have already done the S1 and gold ski rack Esprit.

I have a box full of Carama model in the attic, they used to sell loads in the poundland store so I would be buying them ten or more at a time, I have some displayed, but just don't have the room, they are fighting for space over the Star Wars, Tomb Raider, Wallace and Gromit, Terminator, Red Dwarf and American Chopper bike collection!

Plus the 1:1 size R2 D2 sitting on my hobby room floor at the moment! I'll try and get the cars down and take some pictures.

I do have a matchbox/hotwheels Esprit, Elise and Evora sitting under one of my computer monitors. Again next to the K9, Vader, Stormtrooper, bikertrooper, tie pilot, luke pilot mini figures, oh and a 9" Trekky Picard figure! I just have too many hobbies!!!!

Here's some pictures I done for my website of my models.

Those S3 Esprits from AutoArt are great, I'm looking for them on eBay, but it's almost impossible to buy them in MIB condition, or to buy them in good price (production of those models have ended some time ago). Great collections!

[richardvg]

Yo GUYS!

i am really impressed with the collections - probably worth the price of the real thing ,some are.

love to get my hands on a turbo esprit ,black.

well done

richard

[jimmybondi]

Sorry about the poor quality of my mobile phone camera...

[bosbon_be]

[jimmybondi]

Hi Peter,

Yes, I can remember that one

[ian4455]

1/18 Autoart Esprit Turbo, still boxed, may sell if the price is right.

[Loose Cannon]

Has anyone managed to buy, or even find a picture of, the mythical Minichamps 1:18 Type 79 JPS? Everywhere I see want

[Rodewaryer]

Sorry if I went OTT with the collection pics. I've been collecting for several decades, so it has become pretty extensive. The thread title is afterall, Show us your model collection.....

Richard, Black Turbo Esprit in 1/18:

http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-LOTUS-ESPRIT-TUR...p3286.m63.l1177

I have the auto art 1/43 black Turbo Esprit and didn't see any on ebay, maybe they're a bit rare afterall?

Owen, Nice model pics.....really.

[Mark Blanchard]

Robert,

your collection is amazing, a whole room dedicated to model cars! Looks like a toy shop! And some great models there too.
