Just love the Dino 246 GT. The color is just so nice, so 1970’s. I’ve always thought that Kyosho Ferrari Minicar Collection VII was the BEST collection they ever made. Stunning models, choices, colors, toolings.

Lamley Daily : Greenlight Ford LTD Crown Victoria Paterson Fire Department
I love big wagons (as well as big sedans), and Greenlight replica of this very iconic car is quite good. It could have been even better, but it fills a gap, specially for 80’s and 90’s kids.

Lamley Daily: Smells like a winner – Matchbox’s ‘Corvette Cologne’ convertible
When I look at this black Matchbox Corvette, I can’t help but think of where I bought it – from a basket of loose, bagged, surplus stock in a small-town toy shop in New Zealand in 2003. But as the tampo print on the hood suggests, the Corvette originally came in a 1997 gift pack with a bottle of cologne

The Nissan DeltaWing is such a unique car, I’m surprised that only Spark have risen to the occasion to model it in 1/64. But to be honest I can think of few companies more qualified to give it a shot, given the legendary quality of their 1/43 scale race cars.

Lamley Daily: Evel Knievel’s Chevy-powered Aston Martin Lagonda
This Johnny Lightning Aston Martin Lagonda is a bit of an oddity. Its modified look includes side pipes and a rear wing, because the original version was issued as the only car in a 1998, four-model set of Evel Knievel’s vehicles. Knievel owned a Lagonda that had had its original 5.3-liter Aston V8 swapped for an 8.2-liter, big-block Chevy
