Discussion
In no particular order.......(and apologies for poor photography!)
And lastly, all of them in my woefully inadequate cabinet:
This is one I used to own (the ONLY one in the world!):
And these two are going on EBay in the next week:
Got these 2 on Ebay now as well.

My pictures from a similar thread a while ago now.
A good few more have been bought since then - around 15 more ! I hope this is the sort of stuff that you were after....

I currently have around 100 1/18th scale die-cast models. Some pictures of the more intresting ones can be seen below although i'd like to stress that i've a fair few more since these pictures were taken and Christmas is just around the corner 
. Thats my biggest single collection. I've a few rare Dinky examples and alike along with some other stuff also.
M3J.
The collection as a whole….
Dodge Charger Daytona.
Ford GT40 Le Mans Edition.
Renault 5 Turbo 2. Mmmmmmmmmmmm
AC Cobra.
1955 Chevy.
Jaguar E-Type.
Bugatti EB110.
BMW Z3 ///M. Just as Bburago were getting it right like with this model they folded..
Ferrari Testarossa.
Lamborghini Diablo.
Ford GT90 Concept.
1941 Willys Coupe. Bit of a joke this model I know but surely the ULTIMATE hot rod !!
Dodge Viper.
BMW M3.
BMW 850i
Audi A4 BTCC edition. Piloted by Frank Biela.
Ferrari F40 by Bburago. When this model was first released demand out-stripped supply and examples were changing hands for up to £200…bearing in mind that the normal retail price was just £12 !!
Porsche 911 GT (I think).
Jaguar XJ220.
Ferrari F50 by Bburago…one of the last models they produced.
Lamborghini Countach.
Ford RS200.
McLaren F1. THE finest motorcar ever produced. No arguments.
Dodge Viper GTS.
Porsche 911 (930 ?) roadster.
Mercedes-Benz Gullwing.
Alfa Romeo. Model unknown I’m afraid, but still very very nice.
Pontiac GTO.
DeLoren DMC12.
Which leads me onto nicely a few from TV and film…
1955 Chevy From 2 Lane Blacktop. This one is a VERY VERY rare model.
General Lee from The Dukes Of Hazzard.
Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit.
Lotus Esprit from James Bond : The Spy Who Loved Me. And yes it does turn into a submarine.
Ecto-1 from the Ghostbusters film.
Mustang Fastback GT from the film Bullitt. The best car chase ever recorded.
KITT from the TV series Knightrider. With moving flashing red light on the front.
The Batmobile. Still the best one in my honest opinion.
DeLoren from the Back To The Future films.
Aston Martin DB5 from James Bonds Goldfinger. Loaded with gadgets…
Back to the normal stuff...
TVR Speed 12.
Ford Escort RS1800 rallycar.
TVR Sagaris.
Lancia Delta Intergrale Evo 2.
BMW E60 M5 by Kaysho (sp?). Detail on this one is getting pretty good now..
Notice the real carpet inside…
Now this is where my little collection started. This car was originally red…
A change of colour (Miami Vice) and a fresh set of wheels bring it up to date…just.
BMW E30 M3 by Minichamps. Again quality here is pretty good.
BMW Z1 by Minichamps.
Ford Capri RS3100 by Minichamps.
Ford Escort mk1 Mexco by minichamps.
BMW 3.0L CSL Batmobile by Minichamps. This is where we start to get into the premier league with the detail…
Quality of decials, which is actually paint…
The underside…
Check out the wood on the dash and the textured seat…
Ford Capri RS3100 X-Pack by Minichamps. A very expensive model here in the UK, these are changing hands for upwards of £150 at the minute. Unless of corse you know where to get them for £29.99 The Batmobile’s only real threat…
So I’ve saved the best for last for you. Models by AutoArt. Check these out, quality is superb.
Lotus Esprit Turbo by AutoArt. This and the next few are their `budget` end of things and the quality is just superb.
Mitsubushi Lancer Evo 7 (I think). `budget`
BMW E46 M3 CSL. `budget`
Aston Martin DBR9 road vertion. `budget`
This is where AutoArt relly make you stop and look. This is their Millennium range...
Ford Serria RS Cosworth mk1.
Mercedes-Benz 190e Cosworth. Ayrton Senna edition. This is part of AutoArt’s millennium range. This is where the quality really is OUTSTANDING !!!!
Porsche 911 (996) GT3.
Lamborghini Murcielago.
Audi Sport Quattro. Probably my favourite model of the lot. Again the quality here is in a different league.
I like the model so much, I bought it in both colours.
Audi Quattro (LWB).
Nissan Skyline R32 GTR.
Again, notice the REAL carpet and textured seats…
Notice the matalic paint on the millenimum range...
BMW E24 M6. Quite possibly the most gorgeous car ever produced.
6 cylinders, 286BHP and a gorgeous soundtrack…well, in the real thing anyway.
Warning triangle mounted on battery in boot…
1941 Ford. Detial not really up to my standard but a bit differant
Ford Escort Mk2 1600 Sport. Again detial not quite there on this one but ok for £25.
205 GTI. Detial marginally better than the Escort on this one.
Wisemann GT. A bit differant, never seen one in die cast so had to have it.
Shelby GT500 Elenor.
Porsche 996 GT3 by Minichamps. Detial here is spot on for a sub £100 model !
Lamborghini Diablo GTR by AUTOart. Detial here is V.GOOD for a £35 model.
Quality here is very very good for a sub £100 model. AUTOart have really raised the bar in recent years i think with the quality aspect in 1:18th scale. This one even came as an individually numbered example....

Sorry, you lose. My collection has a theme, yours does not! 
Although I do concede my comments on a previous thread about quality between £20 models & +£50 models was complete horses
t!
M3John, what make is that GT40? Is it UH?
Anyways, the MK1 Escort is on EBay with a reserve of £80 (which still doesn't cover the cost of the parts) & the Focus is now on there too.
