LOTUS 49B DIECAST MODEL SIFFERT 1968 BRITISH GP22

Lotus 49B Diecast Model Siffert 1968 British GP 22 1/18 Die Cast Car by Quartzo

The model from this excellent batch is the Lotus Ford Type 49B. Apart from the fact that all the rivets are modelled, and the wheels are superb, take a close look at the engine and suspension detail. The Quartzo model can certainly be fully recommended.

JADI MODELCRAFT 1/18 LOTUS ELISE DIECAST MODEL GREEN

Lotus Elise Diecast Model Green 1/18 Die Cast Car By Jadi

China's Jadi Modelcraft has recently released this superb 1:18 scale diecast replica of the Lotus Elise Mk II - 111S. The model comes in green with a plastic interior, base, and all the trimmings. The model has a good amount of detailing, with the plastic parts fifting well to the metal body; however, on our example there were some small signs of paint ripples, but this may be just an isolated example. The logos, badges and lettering are all excellent as is the detail around the headlights, and there is even a prop rod to hold open the engine lid! The model comes with a removable top that simulates the detachable roof and the overall lines appear to be corrct to the real car. A very appealing little motor this, and definitely one for the collection!

AUTO ART 1/18 LOTUS EXILE SILVER DIECAST MODEL


The real car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2004. Only 600 have been built so it's fairly limited, unlike the model deplicated here. The lines of the original have been well captured on this model. The shutlines are crisp and that metallic paint has been nicely applied. See more.

IXO 1/43 - LOTUS ELITE - LE MANS 1989


The first Elite or Lotus Type 14 was an ultra-light two-seater coupé, produced from 1957 to 1963. Making its debut at the 1957 London Motor Car Show, Earls Court, the 14 spent a year in development, aided by "carefully selected racing customers", before going on sale. Elites won their class six times at the 24 hour Le Mans race as well as two Index of Thermal Efficiency wins. The Elite was the first Lotus produced car to race in Australia and the original car to be raced in Australia is currently in boxes under re-furbishment.

Another to keep Lotus collectors happy. IXO have already released a car from the 1960 series, No.43. The lastest release, No.38, crewed by J.C Vidtilles should complement it well. This model does not disappoint with its high level of detail. See more.
