Mini Me's

[Montcoffer]

I've started collecting model cars with an aim of having a model of each of the cars I've owned, I don't suppose I'm alone in this so thought it would be fun if we shared a photo of our actual cars & its model Mini me.
Finding past models of cars I've had & sold is proving much harder than I expected particularly the mundane stuff.
Taken a few quick photos of my starting collection.

It's the mundane stuff that kills this dead for me! Where can I get a model of my Vauxhall Nova saloon which was my first car?!

Agreed I'm after a 1989 Nissan Micra, in Red. Driving my wife mad when ever were out shopping I spend my time in the kids toy section sifting through hot wheels, I love it

Always wanted to do this but nobody has ever released a model of any of the cars I've owned!

Go excited last week when I saw a Ukrainian company was releasing a 1/24th e39 5 Series. But then saw that it's £240. So won't be getting that.

Surely you can make them yourself?

In theory yes I could and I have thought about it but I don’t have a decent cad software at home and it’s quite a lot of work. Maybe if I’m really bored one day I’ll make a start

That’s fantastic, I’m sticking to the rule the colour has to be correct, yours matches brilliantly.

I have this exact combo!

I have a 1/18 Touring, too, but it's the wrong colour.

The Hartge stripes and wheels are differnet.

You may be able to find a K10 March Super Turbo model, especially if sourcing from Japan?

That’s a great tip, had a look but can’t find a red one yet. Cheers
