...no not the full scale items but MODEL ones! :lol:
I suspect Frosty will be the runaway winner here, but here is my offering - damn expensive hobby, some of the rarer models here are more expensive than a very ratty spares X1/9! :o

Here is my little offering - anyone care to comment?! Any "must-have" models I'm missing from my collection and anything anyone want to trade me? Post up your collections chaps!

I have a similar selection but I have the 1:18 Minichamps blue, green and red......but by far the best model I have is

A Barnini Automodelli Firenze Abarth X1/9 Giro Ditalia 1974

Its a 1:43 resign model with cast wheels, seats and dash and photo-etched other parts....its just the best but cant build it, so have to find another one......

But I will agree that Frosty will wiln this section... :lol:

Agent Smith .....

No need to build your Abarth X1/9 have a look at the CARPIN model on Grandprix models website same mold but has made use of other mfg
photo etching You should be looking at about 100 for a hand built model
if this was done in the UK

Go now let them see the Dallara or I ll send you another photo of the red one.

1. My own car handmade out of dough in Thailand is one of the most special ones
2. Plastic X1/9 Dallara - 1/43 - from the company AUTO CREATION
3. Metal 1300er X1/9 - 1/36 - from the company PLAYART - with a pull back mechanism
