35th ANNIVERSARY GREEN MINI COOPER

Issigonis' friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formular One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car - but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management, the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper, a nimble, economical and inexpensive car. The Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper debuted in 1961.
The original 848 cc engine from the Morris Mini-Minor was increased to 997 cc, boosting power from 34 bhp to 55 bhp (25 to 41 kW). The car featured a racing-tuned engine, twin SU carburettors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car. One thousand units of this version were commissioned by management, intended for and designed to meet the homologation rules of Group 2 rally racing. The 997 cc engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit in 1964.

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG

Though there was once a real called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Ian Fleming used the name in his children's story for a magical motor which would float and fly as well as travel by road, and for film a car was literally created for the title role. Its appearance is that of a tropical "touring carriage" of motoring's early years, with its brass radiator, Marchal headlights, outside handbreak and "snake" horn. The bonnet conceals a modern Ford engine however, and of course, Caratacus Potts' special modifications which include wings and stabilisers-are essential additions.

HOT WHEELS 60th ANNIVERSARY FERRARI 125 S RED

The Ferrari 125 S (commonly called the 125 or 125 Sport) was the first vehicle produced and built by the famed Ferrari company of Modena, Italy. Although preceded by Enzo Ferrari's Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 of 1940, the 125 S was the first vehicle to bear the Ferrari name when it debuted on May 11, 1947 at the Piacenza racing circuit. Like the 815, it was a racing sports car, but unlike its Fiat-powered 8-cylinder predecessor, the 125 S had a new V12 engine (the "125") like most Ferrari cars of the following decades. The 125 S was replaced by the 159 S for 1947.

The 125 S used a steel tube-frame chassis and had a double wishbone suspension with transverse leaf springs in front with a live axle in the rear. Hydraulic power drum brakes were specified front and rear.

The 125 S was powered by Gioacchino Colombo's 1.5 L (1497 cc/91 in³) 60° V12. This engine produced 100 hp (74 kW) at 7,000 rpm with a compression ratio of 8.5:1. It was a dual overhead camshaft design with 2 valves per cylinder and three double-choke Weber 30DCF carburettors.

HOT WHEELS 60th ANNIVERSARY FERRARI 250 GT CA

This is a Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder. Designed for export to America in 1957. It was Scaglietti's interpretation of an open-top 250 GT. Aluminum was used in the hood, doors, and trunk lid, with steel specified elsewhere for most models, though a few aluminum-bodied racing versions were also built. The engine was the same as in the 250 Tour de France racing car with up to 240 hp (179 kW). All used the long 2600 mm (102.4 in) chassis. About 45 were made before it was replaced by the SWB version in 1960, a fact mentioned by Cameron Frye in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day off." This film made that car famous. Today the car is worth in the neighborhood of 2-4 million dollars, a recent car selling for 1.2 million dollars at an RM Auction in Florida.

Since a replica of one of these called a "Modena" appeared in the 1980s as Cameron's father's dream car in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Ferrari 250 GT California may be the most widely recognized of the various models produced.

This car was sold at a RM Auction during the Concorse d'Eligance on August 18, 2007 at monterey for 4.5 million dollars, setting a record for sale price at the auction

Review By Melissa N. Macdonald "shopping mommy" (North Myrtle Beach, SC)
Having quite a few other Ferrari models for our son, I was disappointed to receive this one and it have a plastic rear hood, while the rest of the car is die cast metal. None of the other Ferrari models we collected have plastic parts, except of course windows, mirrors. Otherwise, it is a great car to have. Very sexy, just like the real Enzo.

HOT WHEELS FERRARI 60th ANNIVERSARY ENZO

The car that bear the Ferrari name, the brainchild of Enzo Ferrari, born in Modena in 1898, have long had a cult status with model collectors. Ferrari was a racing driver, spending time with Alfa Romeo. His first cars, built in Maranello, just south of Modena, appeared in 1947. All Ferrari cars bear the famous Cavallino Rampante, or prancing horse, presented to Enzo after a race win in 1923.

The range of models is enormous, with particularly fine examples being available in 1/43rd scale. Some range, such as Art Model of Italy, comprise only models of Ferraris.

In 1999 Mattel obtained a licence to produce models and other memorabilia linked with Ferrari.
