Wow I can't believe there was almost a BBR 16M..that would have been grand. But it may be better that it wasn't made given they front height of the F430 looks terrible.

I hate the day when BBR decided to end their diecast production! And wondering why the 'P1218' opening resin 458 was cancelled.

The Scuderia and 16M... :(

Chimera is just reminded me the real ones last situation when factory in Blackpool was stopped production and closed.

For BBR…they made a handful of 1/24 factory built Ferrari 288 GTO….Those are really the " Holy Grails "

After seeing those pics, I could never take the Hot Wheels versions seriously.
