Next addition is a real Jaguar. It is the XJ-S convertible made by AUTOart. One very good model from AUTOart!

That's a great model from AUTOart. Unfortunately, it wasn't very popular with the masses.

The 1:1 had the same problem. Beautiful car, just slighty unreliable...

Love the XJS...great '70's styling.

Wish I'd grabbed both the Coupe & Racing versions when they were cheap.

You can't find any? And yes, AUTOart definitely had a clearance sale on both :money: :money:

I'll admit, I haven't looked for quite a while, but they were both well under 80E from Euro sellers at one point.

This time I will let the photo's speak for themselves. By far one of AUTOart's best new releases I have seen, let alone bought, for a long time.

Next buy is the AUTOart Corvette C1. I bought this to replace the old Bburago I had. I choose the white one, because I love the red contrasting interior.

It has been a while since the last update, but there are some new updates in the collection. Also still waiting on quite a few pre-orders, but this hobby is about having patience. Still wondering why I choose this hobby, since I haven't got any.... :doh: :rotfl:

This update arrived a couple of days ago and is a very, very pleasant surprise. It's a Lamborghini 400GT 2+2, made by KK scale. I try to collect as few sealed models as I can, but this is a one of those exceptions. For its price (60 euro's, nearly half a GT Spirit model!) it is stunning! Just for that alone, it deserves a top spot in the model of the year competition I think.

Not to mention the car itself :love:
