Angel - My Collection

[[KRAFTIG]]

Not something you see everyday. I can appreciate the uniqueness of the piece.

3 years ago my friends from the Bulgarian forum gave me for my birthday the CMC 1936 Auto Union Type C.
Since than i was obsessed to add the Auto Union Type C -- V-16 Engine with display case.
It proved to be not very easy, the car model is all over the market at a reasonable price level.
The engine however is a different case, prizes went up, these days reaching the 200 euro mark.
A week ago i was in Berlin/Germany and i was planing to visit a shop there.
I did and to make the long story short - totally unexpected i found and bought my Engine!
Thank you Mr. Robert Budig!

That is really special, congrats!

I'm still debating whether or to add AU Hill Climber, such a unique specimen

[Angel Spirov]

Thank you!
I'm sure you have to get the Hill Climber!

Thank you Angel!

You are very welcome! Hope you did find something there for your collection.

That looks SOOOO cool in convertible form. I don't think I've seen photos of it before. Thanks for sharing!

This changed my plans and i have to show my humble review of maybe one of the best looking roadsters ever made quite well reproduced by PMA?Minichamps.

It is wonderful to see that you started at the beginning.
Really enjoyed seeing your collection.
Cheers and Happy Collecting,

Yes, very nice additions from Minichamps. I have also the red version with black interior.
Someday i have to get the 24th scale Franklin Mint (at least one of them) too.




Thanks for your comments!

I have to go back in time to show a very old racer.
I am not very happy with the quality of the footage, but you can take a look here

and i will borrow a part of the comment:
"CMC steals the show with this release and has excelled in their presentation of early race cars. The attention to detail, build quality, and subject matter make for an excellent replica that collectors will enjoy for many years to come. If you haven't had a chance to obtain one of these, I highly recommend this addition to your collection. It will not only look great in any racing, European, and Mercedes-Benz collection, but could also serve as a centerpiece to be admired for the craftsmanship and detail CMC brings to the table."

"... the red painted Mercedes was due to a race strategy that would fool Italian race fans into thinking one of their own was coming down the track, thus preventing the occasional boulder from rolling on the course! Rennleiter, or team manager, Alfred Neubauer had the cars repainted red between the practice round and race and the rest is history!"

A work of art. I love the colour
