KYOSHO 1/18 FERRARI 250 GTO DIECAST MODEL CAR

Ferrari 250 GTO Diecast Model Car 1/18 Black Die Cast Car by Kyosho

The 250 GTO was designed to compete in GT racing. It was based on the 250 GT SWB. Chief engineer Giotto Bizzarrini installed the 3.0 L V12 engine from the 250 Testa Rossa into the chassis from the 250 GT SWB and worked with designer Sergio Scaglietti to develop the body. After Bizzarrini and most other Ferrari engineers were fired in a dispute with Enzo Ferrari, development was handed over to new engineer Mauro Forghieri, who worked with Scaglietti to continue development of the body, including wind tunnel and track testing. Unlike most Ferraris, it was not designed by a specific individual or design house. The rest of the car was typical of early-1960s Ferrari technology: hand-welded tube frame, A-arm front suspension, live-axle rear end, disc brakes, and Borrani wire wheels. The five-speed gearbox was new to Ferrari GT racing cars; the metal gate that defined the shift pattern would become a tradition that is still maintained in current models. The interior was extremely basic, to the point where a speedometer was not installed in the instrument panel. Many of its switches came from the Fiat 500, and it was said that as the car was rushed into production, the original cloth seats were made from workers' overalls.


This model has the following features: Open Door, Hood, Trunk,Has Steerable Wheels.Workable Steering Wheel.Rubber Tires.Made of Diecast With Some Plastic Parts.The Interior is Extremely Detailed.

LLEDO DAYS GONE - SCAMMELL - FISHER RENWICK

This model's practically as big as some Corgi Classics, and so so good value for money! The transformer load is quite convincing, and Fisher Renwick should be a popular collecting theme for Lledo. Shop here

A LITTLE LIFT FOR COLLECTORS

A little model which will appeal to both the truck and the construction enthusiast is Corgi's small industrial forklift truck, to approximately 1/50th scale. Released in the ever popular, and collectable in its own right, Eddie Stobart livery, this model features a raising and tilting mast. Despite the industry's standard of 1825th scale for forklift trucks, this is a nice addition to squeeze into the collection. shop here

VANGUARDS 1/43 FORD ANGLIA 105E - ROYAL ULSTER POLICE

The Anglia 105E was the first car adopted by the police to the new Panda Car role created by the Unit Beat Policing system that a large number of forces were embracing in the early sixties. However the RUC did not employ this system and so never used the Panda Car scheme. The RUC did, however, use large numbers of Anglias in various transport roles and stayed with the traditional all black at a time when other forces were experimenting with more visible liveries. The car modelled is a one of those vehicles, and served with the RUC in the early 1960s. Shop here

We rather like the East London coaches red livery, it's actually a part of Stagecoach, but there's not a candy stripe in sight. This model looks most impressive and will tempt a great many London fans. Shop here

CORGI CLASSIC 1/43 PORSCHE 356
