About Us

I have been collecting precision Die Cast model cars for many years - both new and second hand. My interest in cars and subsequently Die Cast Models began with the MG sports car and continued through Mercedes to BMW and eventually Porsche.

Having enjoyed several versions of these marques, I began to look for something different. The Chevrolet Corvette fitted the bill perfectly. Affordable and with looks that you could kill for. It was often described as the American Ferrari !

I currently own a red 1990 Corvette Coupe (is there really any other colour ?). This is great for the summer, but then there is a problem - what to do in the winter months ? Well for me it was easy; why not collect all those cars that I wanted, but in precision Die Cast ? I began modestly, but soon accumulated a fine collection of American and European Exotica.

My collection consists mainly of models from the two famous mints - Franklin Mint and Danbury Mint. There are exceptions - Creative Masters, Jouef and CMC being three of them. Basically, if the model is precision and interesting, I will want it in my collection. Over the years I have been asked by friends to obtain specific models on their behalf, and this I have been happy to do. These occasional requests increased year on year, until I found myself increasingly involved in the buying and selling of model cars. This experience I can now pass on to you.

If you buy a model from me you can buy with confidence. I will always state the condition of the model that I sell. Mint in the box means just that. Excellent means correctly displayed without any visible faults. Good means perhaps a little dusty - maybe a minor repair like a mirror re-attached, but it will still be in a condition where it can be displayed without apparent fault. If I buy a car or cars from you, I expect the same honesty and integrity that I apply to my own customers.

Please don't forget that I deal internationally as well as on the domestic market. Distance is no object - shipping can be either UPS or similar, or by the postal service. Delivery and payment terms will be advised upon request.

So if you are looking for that hard to buy new release or that rare discontinued model - contact me.

If you are looking to sell that old collection that you are tired of - contact me.

If you are a wholesaler with a discontinued line, then - contact me.

What are you waiting for - contact me !
