Surely one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars ever built, the Porsche 550 A Spyder looks great in black with red upholstery. This detailed 1:18-scale replica has an exceptionally solid metal body. Although the detailing is plastic, there's not much of it on this pared-down fun machine. The steering wheel actually turns the front wheels, and the doors, hood, and rear compartment can be opened, the latter revealing engine, leather tool bag, and spare wheel. All four wheels have independent suspension springs. The car comes on a black, fake-wood display stand, but you can easily remove the two screws for some stylish, open-air motoring around your floor or desktop. --Richard Farr

VANGUARDS 1/43 FORD CAPRI Mk3 3.0S - 1978 BRITISH SALOON CAR CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER
From 1975, the 3-litre Capri dominated the BSCC and Gordon Spice racked up 26 victories, winning the class every year from 1975 to 1980. In 1978, driving the 220bhp 3.0S modelled, he took 6 wins out of 12 races. Ford gained fantastic publicity from the Capri's success, so when the Mh3 was announced in March 1978, free 'update kits' were issued to the series' leading protagonists, which gave their existing Mk2 Capri's the up-to-date look and performance. The car modelled started life as a Mk2. Features include detailed interior, working suspension and authentic livery. Shop here
