Homerun by Minichamps on this DE, as it is a beauty! Everything just seems to look "right" with this.
High Speed
Here is one that High Speed delivered on! They can be hit or miss, but did a great job on these!

Kyosho
Nice presentation piece by Kyosho, and a good job with the panel gaps for the hood.
Minichamps
An older Minichamps mold, but still a terrific looking piece of an iconic design!
Kyosho
Another nice piece by Kyosho; again, with minimal panel gaps for the hood.
Kyosho
This is a gorgeous car, both in 1:1 and in this offering from Kyosho, but the ride height is a bit off.
Minichamps
Very nice job by Minichamps, but the opening hood leaves a panel gap that is a bit too large.
Minichamps
Classic Minichamps with this release, as it is terrific! Very nicely done here.
Cararama
Not too bad of a representation of the X5 here by Cararama; definitely surprised me.
Minichamps
As they so often do, Minichamps really impressed me with this offering! Very nicely done.

Altaya
A good value for the money, though this car can be found with better details (at a higher price).
IXO
Nice job by IXO on this car, though you won't catch too many looks on the design elements!
Altaya
Classic design from this partworks release. Details are not the top, but the price is not either!

Nice job on the details by IXO on this release, and it is one of my favorites. Classic car to be sure.

Simply put, a gorgeous model released by IXO! Very impressive details for the money!
IXO
Another nice Ferrari release, but it appears that the windshield is a bit out of proportion.

Considering the age of this mold, this is a very nice piece by Detail Cars.

Another very nicely-done piece by IXO, and a beautiful car!
FIAT

Edison (EG)
Any smaller and you may not see this diecast! The 1:1 of this car must have been tiny!

The first Starline to make it into my collection, and I am very pleased with it!

I used to own one of these, and I wish I still did! It was a lot of fun, but also needed constant work!

I can picture this little car bounding about Italy! Nice budget piece.
FORD (EUROPEAN)

COMMENTS
Minichamps
Love the Capri releases by Minichamps, only wish they would do a U.S. version as well.
Minichamps
An absolutely classic design! I remember having a Matchbox of one when I was perhaps 7.
Minichamps
This one was sold under the Mercury badge here in the U.S. and looked identical so far as I can see.
Minichamps
Another very nice release by Minichamps here. Very simple car, but very well done.
Minichamps
I guess our friends across the pond got the little offering from Ford, as we never saw this one.
Minichamps
Here in the states, we hear "saloon" and we think of a western; not so in Europe it seems!
Minichamps
This is a terrific looking piece! Definitely one of the tops in my collection. Goes great with the '60 too!
Minichamps
Minichamps does a great job of capturing this uniquely-styled classic! Nicely done!

I love the look of this classic, and can't help but picture it during its heyday.

AutoArt
Very solid piece from AutoArt, and one that can usually be found at a bargain!
