Although I don't collect many models of cars made after 1972 as a rule, these two sports cars/supercars are so beautifully styled that I couldn't resist.  Ebay pics posted....

Jack, I purchased a Triple 9 Lamborghini Miura limited edition of 504 in 1/43 scale. I have never heard of this model company, but I was very impressed with it when it arrived.

See my post here on mid-engine supercars of the early 70's.

@ben-lampson If you find out more about Triple 9 (Triple9), let us know.  This is all I know about them: https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/subjects/triple-9-collection-brand

I was wondering about this company as well.  I have seen the name Triple 9 via ebay several times recently.

From what I've seen on ebay and Facebook, Triple 9 seems to do recolors of PCT castings for the UK market, similar to the WhiteBox models made for MCW in Germany. I have two Triple 9s, both based on PCT/Ixo castings. The Ligier JS2 is an LE of 504, the Jeep CJ-3B was limited to 600. I got these in 2016 from the old MCW USA operation, so I don't know if Triple 9 models are still being cranked out.
