It comes mounted on a base and sealed under perspex cover. The build was done by an amateur and the quality is not great. However, it’s a model of an Aussie who raced overseas, it was never made by the commercial model manufacturers and there’s probably just a handful of them in existence – $135

Above & Below: DeAgostini Rally Car Collection. This collection of 73 models covers the history of world rallying and was released through newsagents in Australia from 2005 to 2008. 70 of the models were accompanied by a magazine featuring information on that particular car, plus other rally articles and profiles. Three further models (Transit Van, Escort on trailer, plus Mini in a diorama scene) also form part of the collection. This offer is for the FULL COLLECTION – all 70 magazines + their respective model, plus 2 binders, posters and the 3 extra ‘special gifts’. With exception of the van and car on trailer, this collection has been packed in storage and was never on display. It took nearly 3 years and $1200 (in 2008-value money!) to put this collection together. Price for the lot – $1000 (will not split). Click HERE for a PDF of the full list.
Above: Issue 1 to issue 70, they are all there, plus the 2 binders (magazines are not currently fitted to the binders).
Above: Each model comes on its own plinth with car, driver and event details. Loose fitting perspex cover fits over the top. The entire collection is in excellent condition, with the exception of the cracked display case on this Opel.
Above: In addition to the 70 “issued” models, these items were also included as part of the collection. The blister packs for the Transit Van and Escort have been carefully sliced to remove the models as I had these on display in a dust proof cabinet for a short time. The modes are still perfect.

Wanted
1/43 and 1/20 scale Formula 1 kits. I’m interested in plastic, white metal or resin kits, built or unbuilt, particularly of the lesser known private and backmarker teams and drivers. Would also consider Indycar and NASCAR models, kits or diecast.
Above & Below: WANTED – 1/25 scale Revell kit of Don Prudhomme’s Army funny car, unbuilt and in decent condition. It is this specific Vega-bodied kit I’m looking for; not the Monza body or the 1:12 scale version.
