model car and racing memorabilia colletions

BEFORE I START THIS OFF I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS WILL BE A LOT OF READING, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED


Hey guys, long time no see 
Kicking this one off with something I had on my mind for a while now, a topic for all members' collections of various motorsport memorabilia.
Of course I have one of my own and with my new load of cars that came in today I remembered I wanted to do this so here I am.

My current collection consits of 38 cars scale 1:43 and 2 scale 1:18 as well as 4 autographs of F1 drivers.

To start this one some pics of the autographs:





The first two are of 3x F1 drivers' champion Sir Jackie Stewart ,next one is of 1x F1 GP winner Peter Gethin as well as one of the late Sir John Surtees. All of these autographs sholud be genuine, though I can only be certain for the first one as I got it signed via a personal request per mail.

Next of are going to be the 1:43 as these are the main part of my collection, first off I will show some pictures, then a detailed list of informations about the individual cars will follow. My 1:43 is devided in open-wheel and closed-wheel cars, each one has their own shelf and is sorted by the age of the original (i.e. from the oldest to the newest car)
(I warned you that this will be a lot of reading)

Alright, with that the main part of my collection is done, I do own a Alpine A110 and a Lancia Fulvia HF in 1:18 scale but can't take pictures of them any more as it has now become so dark outside that taking pictures with my phone is impossible  .


I hope you liked this 'quick' tour and I will be glad to see the colletions of others as well, bye for now

Peek a boo Teddy, I see your reflection in the paintings !

your collection is similar to mine, I have about 200 cars and god knows how many planes, I cant display all in the shelving space I have so I have to pack them away. I have a lot of hotwheels, and many 1:24 cars built from kits when kits were cheap; now its all 1:43 ,space saving and you get all the odd ball cars/subjects.

I now get my models from an italian site called carmodel.com they even sell second hand stuff.

I personally get them either from ebay auctions(most of my brumm models I got that way) or from a german site called ck-modelcars.de, though I've considered ordering from carmodel as well. 
Some models I bought at a modelling convention in Vienna, for example the Streamliner I got for only 30€, without the seller noticing he sold it to me for almost half to the official price. 

ck-modelscars right now sells some cars for >10€, you might consider checking that out, I got 7 cars for 100€, 6 of them were 40€ all together, less than a Spark or Minichamps model for sure 

you mean the Pizzavan? xD is it a Leo models 1/43? If yes I thought about buying the same one but went for the Tipo 61 Drogo instead...

Yeah teddy, its a leo model i.e the masser 151/3 which I took apart and had to soup up with headlight paint and god knows what else... it was bought when I was in a more Maserati state of mind ..than ferrari...

How cheap are we talking? Minichamps has prduced a limited run of them, you might want to look on ebay, they sell them quote cheap sometimes, almost won a BBR Ferrari 250P for 12€, the bit wasn't submitted early enough and it went..
