MINICHAMPS 1/43 FORD FOCUS - RED

Minichamps has majored on Ford Focus. The three-door Focus is not everyone's cup of tea, but the new model certainly captures the purposeful, modern looks of the actual car. Perhaps the nicest touch is the headlamp and grille area, which is very well done. Separate curved front lights are complimented by an excellent grille, complete with neat 'Ford' badge. The wheels are also well modelled. Shop here

ELVIS PRESLEY THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL'S FERRARI DINO 308 GT4

Ferrari's family of immensely successful V8 road cars began in 1973 with the Dino 308 GT4. This V8-engine road car and first mid-engine 2+2 seating configuration, was styled by Bertone rather than the customary Pininfarina, the styling was incredibly unique and controversial for its time, with its angular wedge shape, it looked quite differently from the 206/246 from which it was derived. The overall shape was very tight and well balanced, and has stood the test of time very well. Elvis, one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century, the 'King of Rock and Roll,' a cultural icon, in October 1976 decided to include in his huge collection of super cars a Dino 308 GT4 black. A great die-cast model for a worldwide known artist! Shop here

BRUMM 1/43 FIAT 600D MULTIPLA AUTOMOBIL CLUB MODENA 1956

The Fiat 600D Multipla has a heavy metal base, giving the model quite a weighty feel. The decoration is pretty good for the scale but the line between the duo colour could be a touch neater.

The Multipa (one of the original people carries) is finished in the Automobile Club of Modena colours and carries a roof mounted badge and rack. The orange and blue livery is quite stunning and should find a very welcome place in any model road service vehicle collections. Shop here
