Kind of like a "Cobra-BMW-Jag." 😏 

The BMW part is real, as they were BMW powered.  Started with the Inline-6's from the M3, this GT4 used the 4.0L V8 from the E90/92 M3.  The final model, GT5 used the V10 from the E60 M5.

Oh yeah, these Cortinas are awesome cars, they make great models too. I passed on these a few years ago (LIKE AN IDIOT!!) but still want one. Gavin, you're lucky to have it; thanks for sharing!  "Classic Carlectibles" also issued a 1/18 version of these Cortinas but the trunk (despite being a separate piece) doesn't open. Autoart still reigns superior.  I've always been a fan of the "3 box design," this car embodies that better than most. 😎

Well, what's better than one Ferrari?  Two of course. 😉   (Although Gavin, I'm certain you have even more!)

Beautiful (..or should I say "Blu-tiful") line up Gavin. Just love like-make/model displays like this. Did you purposefully seek out only blue or did it just end up this way?

Thanks Chris.  I really enjoy these mini-collections as well.

I got lucky with the all blue, as it is my favorite color.  I bought the E60 first, which was available in a selection of colors, but the blue was my favorite.  Next came the older cars, but blue was the first release for each by Otto (& by chance, the color I would have chosen anyway).  When it came time for the F10, the choice was easy.
