    Hi Joe, I cant remember where i got it! I came across a box in the attic with it, the McLaren GTR, Merc CLK GTR, Corvette, the Pepsi car and a 1:18 Golf GTI. Plus there was about 7 or 8 1:43 scale Minichamps inc a couple of Jordan F1s . It was a nice surprise to find it. I have never seen the blue version for sale anywhere inc E.Bay so maybe it is rare.

    Nice collection. I don't have anywhere near the amount of cars you do, let alone the space.
    I have 7 1/18 Ferraris 2 1/18 Porsches and 1 1/18 Lamborghini. 8 out of the 10 I consider "high end" (HW Elite, AutoArt, Kyosho). It's nothing like yours but it's a start!!

    One question: how do you manage the dust and keep the cars clean and shinny? It's annoying trying to dust the detailed areas on some of the cars.

    Another question: do you buy mainly from eBay or secondhand?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the comments Guys. As regards the dust I have only 100 approx on show at any one time so keeping them clean is not too hard. I actually enjoy picking them up and dusting them,,,, sad or what?
    Most of my models have been bought new from shops as I like to see the model in the metal before i buy. I only buy on E.bay when the model is out of stock in the shops. And i only buy what I like, I would never buy for investment purposes. Having said that I have kept all the boxes and plinths just in case!! Lol.

    What do you do to dust them?
    I just use a cloth that was used to clean glasses.
    I too own all mine for display and enjoyment purposes but I also keep the boxes just in case.

    A little help needed. I purchased a book and two models today and the seller did not have much information about them. I was wondering if you could tell me who the signatures are and if the models are genuine and roughly what they are worth? I was told they all came from the Ferrari factory. Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi doyler,

    The 1st signature is from Jean Todt, the 3rd from Michael Schumacher, 100 % sure.
    The 2nd signature is from one of the 3 RB's :D: Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne, or Rubens Barichello. Rubens' is most likely.

    That was quick!! Thanks for that. I was told one of them was Ross Brawn, but I was also told the 1st one was Jarno Trulli.......... I think both Brawn and Barichello were with Ferrari in 2001. Again ,thanks for the reply.

    hi colm.
    looks like the signatures are j,trulli,r,brawn,and schumacher. from 2001 f1 season.
    the cars colm are they 1/18th scale,they could be mr or bbr models.
    although the cali looks like the elite version by hotwheels.

    Cars are 1:43 scale and bonnets, or "trunks" open on both. Both have a c.o.a. and as you can see the spec sheet of the 599 matches the model exactly. The bases of the cases are covered in leather. Any thoughts?
