A company who sells memorabilia made a short film about this Guy who has this collection from where i bought the models from.He decided to see all the models,most are Amalgam 1/8 models but they are too much for me to buy.He has around 50 models left from around 400 of the worlds finest Beasts.
Enjoy the link.

Wow that is impressive to say the least. Maybe one of the best collections I have ever seen! Why would he ever sell

A shame, I bet he enjoyed them while in his possession.

incredible collection! yes a shame he decided to sell them off as there are many many gems that would have been very difficult to let go of. I know the feeling having sold off my former collection and some of the special models I had..
Hope his health improved though!

Thanks again,not cheap but very nice additions.
@ Spanner,he is doing fine from what i saw of him last weekend,although i didn't ask too many questions about his health.

Very nice! We have some common ground, I have this one in 1:18. Wheel gap seems little large on the front, no?

Thanks for the comment Kraftig,yes Rob from Carmodelz noticed it before it was shipped to me and said i could refuse it if i wanted which was a Great gesture from him but i am very happy with this beauty and the gap is not noticeable to me when it's sat in front of me so not a problem.This really is a nice looking model in the flesh and finished to such a high spec,the CF is Amazing to see.
I just love the 1/12 Peako models they really are a cut above other resin makers,i will have to get all the five Peako 1/12 Pagani's together for a photo shoot when i have more time,i bet they will look Awesome together.

Hi Kraftig,just had an email from Rob as he asked the same question over the large wheel gap to Peako and the ride height is correct" The real car has adjustable wheel height and the model by Peako was measured from the real car and is correct, but not in the lowest position. " hope this answers it better,Darren.
