SCHUCO 1/43 AUDI TT COUPE DIECAST MODEL
Audi revealed the second-generation TT on April 6, 2006. It uses aluminum in the front body panels, and steel in the rear, to enhance its near-neutral front-to-rear weight distribution. It is available in front-wheel drive or 'quattro' four-wheel drive layout, and is offered as a 2+2 Coupé or as a two-seater Roadster. Factory production commenced during August 2006. Powertrain options include one of two inline four cylinder engines: The all-new 1.8 liter Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection or the more common and established 2.0 liter TFSI. The Fuel Stratified Injection technology was derived from the Audi Le Mans endurance race cars, and offers improved fuel efficiency as well as an increased power output and cleaner emissions. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, with the six-speed 'S tronic' as an option. The new TT now has a multi-link fully independent rear suspension to compliment the front independent suspension. The new TT also features a revised rear spoiler; which automatically extends at speeds greater than 75 mph, and retracts again below 50 mph.Shop here
SCHUCO 1/43 AUDI A5 CABRIOLET DIECAST MODEL
The Audi A5 is available in two-door coupé and cabriolet versions and is a modern manifestation of the grand tourer tradition. The design is based on Nuvolari quattro concept car. The coupé was introduced in 2007 while the convertible was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in 2009. Besides being strikingly beautiful, the design is notable for its departure from Audi's trademark engine mounting position over the front axle, instead being located behind the front axle in an effort to achieve a more even weight distribution between the front and rear wheels. A variety of sophisticated engines are available including a 3.0 liter V6 supercharged engine option for the cabriolet. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual or 6-speed Tiptronic automatic.

VANGUARDS 1/43 JAGUAR XJ6 AYRSHIRE POLICE

MOTOR MAX 1/18 - 1953 BUICK SKYLARK
1953 Buick Skylark Diecast Model Red 1/18 Die Cast Car By Motormax
Buicks post-war styling feature was dropped for their 50th Anniversary dream car, the Skylark convertible. Part of G.M.'s 1953 class of production dream cars, along with the Cadillac El Dorado, Chevrolet Corvette, and Oldsmobile Fiesta, the Skylark had a unique look designed to complete with Erupean styling. Most dramatic was the lack of rear skirt. To this open look were added sporty Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels.
VANGUARDS 1/43 LAND ROVER - MET POLICE SETAC
We can see this Landie having a lot of appeal to a variety of collectors. The Met used these Special Equipped Traffic Accident Cars (SETAC) for many years, and it was a role the series IIa was well suited to. The front light arrangement is not quite convincing though. Shop here
