After Wayne Moyer stated the Minichamps was better detailed than the Ixo version of the 1966 Ford GT Mk. II, I did a side-by-side comparison and agreed with him on this Forum and in MAR in 2012. I've recently upated my pics of the winning No. 2 car, and No. 3 which DNF'd. It's curious that Minichamps didn't do all 8 cars from the race, maybe the market was saturated with the Ixos, leaving a bunch of MCs on the shelves. Too bad, because the engine was reasonably detailed for the time.

Harv;

 

It is one of the cars in the 100 years of Ford set done by Minichamps.  There are several on ebay right now.  It is well done IMO.

@jack-dodds That's the "retro" 2003 Ford GT. What I posted were the original 1966 Le Mans cars. I have that set too but mine is yellow.
