Random model pic of the day!

GMP 1966 Lola T70 Spyder #7 Team Surtees, driven by John Surtees

GMP 1969 Lola T70 Coupe #8 American International Racing (owned by actor James Garner, Bob Bondurant & Dick Gulstrand), driven by Leslie/Motschenbacher

Sleek looking race cars I know nothing about (LoL....not my "area"). GMP loved racing; they tooled up "everything." Looks like you got 'em all Gavin! 😎 

UT Models McLaren F1

Excellent models and pictures Gavin. The McLaren is my favorite.

Thanks very much @bob-jackman!  Glad you liked them.

Minichamps Maserati Ghibli SS Coupe

I don't think I've ever seen this one before Gavin. Minichamps picked a very attractive color combo. What year(s) is this?

What year(s) is this?

Maserati produced the 1st generation Ghibli from 1967-1973...the SS from 1969-1973.  In my records, unless it specifically says on the box, I list the 1st production year...so I have it as 1969.

I do love this color combo & it is my favorite.  Minichamps also released the Coupe in black on tan & the Spider (which I previously had, but sold) in silver on black.

AutoWorld 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator

Thanks for that Maserati info Gavin.

I like this Mercury Cougar (kind of a "low-end-high-end" if you know what I mean). Mine (orange) had those ultra-cheesy-Ertl GT rims with beauty rings. I'm waiting to score a nicer set of HW61 Mustang Magnum 500 wheels. Your FoMoCo mag-wheels look better than the GTs.

Here's the Cougar T/A for a different look, including the "Dan Gurney For President" bumper sticker.

That describes it perfectly.

Looks great in race trim, Rich...always liked that model

AutoArt 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16v Evolution II (W201)

Auh yeah, the late '80's & early 90's... "Boxy racers!" Love these Autoart sedans. 😎 

Thanks Chris.  I do too!

Minichamps 1988 BMW Z1

What the hell is this?  😮    A very unusual BMW for sure....one I've never seen. 🤔 

It is definitely an unusual car.  The Z1 was built from 1989-1991, but never sold in the US...though now that they're over 25 years old, there are some here.  It was built on much modified E30 3-series chassis with a brand new rear suspension & powered by the 2.5 inline-6 from the 325i.  The body panels were plastic & completely removable...you could technically change colors by changing panels.
