ROCKSTAR Garage [the1 1:43 Collection]

Post by the1 » Wed Oct 01, 2014 7:09 pm

ROCKSTAR Garage [the1 1:43 Collection]. Diversity at its best. A flamboyant and unexpected mix of supercars, luxury limos, evergreen icons or humble everyman's cars. My passion for modelling started back in the 90s when I got my first Ferrari F40 1:43 as a birthday gift. A couple of decades later, I still dare to dream, frantically expanding my collection day by day, week after week. A collection influenced only by my infinite obsession for automotive art.

I decided to start my presentation with the Unicorn, my favorite car, the one and only Ferrari F40.

From its blunt-force appearance to its 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine living and breathing perilously close to the driver's head, the F40, the last model designed and built with input from Enzo Ferrari himself, has been and likely always will be the Ferrari of Ferraris for automotive enthusiasts who grew up in the late 80s. No electronic nannies, no servo, no double clutch, no gizmos. The last king of... Analog!

She's a beauitful piece. I'm sure the F40 was a first for many collectors. Curious how much does a Redline model go for these days?

Thank you!
Now it is quite rare, so exponentially more expensive. The only one available on ebay right now costs 95 US $.
Looking for a BBR. Any idea if I can buy it cheaper than 100 euros?

Make Up / Eidolon F40 is as detailed as the best Swiss watches. Fantastico!

I agree, the Make Up looks fab! But do they make the street version as well? I've only came across the GTE.

Thank you! I must say I have hesitated a bit between the blue and the white version. In the end the white one seemed more accurate considering its WRC legacy.

Love the RS200 too. White was the right choice.

A model which defies the usual Minichamps' standards. The exuberance of the exterior paint contributes as well to this impression.
