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.

1:18 SCALE 1959 CORVETTE

Chevrolet eliminated the corvette’s fake hood louvers and rear deck chrome strips in 1959 while giving it more supportive new seats and a’t-handle’ reverse gear lockout on the shift handle. AUTOart has just released this very accurate 1959 ‘Vette and even a Ford fan like me has to admit that it’s absolutely gorgeous. There’s no room for a full description so we’ll hit the high spots. Every piece except the crossed flag emblems and trunk lock; those are printed in chrome. Under the correctly hinged hood, the base 230-horsepower engine is wired and plumbed. The hardtop fits snugly and can be removed to better see the excellent interior detail. There are small, almost hidden mould lines on the aluminum painted exhaust pipes and suspension components are separate from the baseplate but there are no hydraulic or fuel lines. The new-for-’59 ventilated wheels and their skinny tires are modeled very well. The workmanship is outstanding, and dimensions are precise.--SMI April 2007 Read more
