HOT WHEELS - Two different colours of the same car with the same livery, and they both work well.


Another Hot Wheels, this time the 2009 Corvette ZR1, and in a livery scheme that has been used many times on various HW models, this one, is Gulf as in the Oil company, I currently have four of these, three in Blue and orange the other in white and orange, and all with the same livery.

All four are on the short card, and have black PR5 wheels with an orange rim and with the range of HW's now running at 250 per year, this one at number 12/250 has been used a number of times in differing colour schemes.

Unusually it has side, top and front tampoing, which for mattel these days, is more than normal, but is a nice touch.

First Post - OXFORD DIECAST - Austin 1300 GT, one of my all time favourite cars.


Firstly, being my first post, i need to make it clear that i did have an account ModelMadnessUK, but for some unknown reason, I can not get into the posting part of the account, I can access it all, but it will not let me post, edit and so on, so I decided to start a brand new one, and hey presto, here it is.

The model above is the Austin 1300 GT and is made by Oxford Diecast in the UK (model made in China), the 1300, was also known as ADO16, the original real cars concept code, it eventually went on to be a massive seller and was replaced later by the Allegro, which was never as popular as this model

The mode is screwed to a plastic base, with a perspex dome over the top and slid into a card, with the brands details, code, and name.

This car, in both model and actual is one of my all time favourite cars, and I look forward to the next version, which I believe is in a red colour
