MAISTO 1/24 LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO LP670-4 SV

This car model is a perfect gift for car lovers. It is a good size and nice color. The doors open up like the real Lamborghini and so does the trunk. These parts seem kinda fragile but if you're careful then they will be fine. The cool thing about this car is when you turn the steering wheel inside the car, the front wheels turn. Overall a very nice product.--kristina  Shop here

CORGI 1/50 TRIUMPH TR4 - SIGNAL RED


The TR4's gestation was slowed by too many ambitious plans that ultimately proved to be distractions, the most obvious being the 'Sabrina' twin-cam TRS, which was originally to have been the basic for Triumph's new sports car.

When finally launched in 1961, the TR4 used a modified version of the TR3s well proven 88 inch wheelbase chassis, but with a wider track, new rack and pinion steering, and the previously optional 147cc larger engine.Its smart new Michelotti designed body was much more civilized than its predecessor's and featured wind up windows, a very efficient fresh air ventilation system and Triumph's unique removable 'Surrey Top'.

Although not named as such, it was pretty obviously a Kenworth. It was painted yellow with an eagle and ribbon motif on the sides. Thunder Roller disappeared for several years, until it was revived in 1996 in an attractive metallic red colour scheme. --Diecast Collector  Shop here
