MY COLLECTION OF 1/43 COACHBUILT ROADGOING SPORTS CARS 1935-1970

Depends on coachbuilder obviously. The last one strongly resembles Corvette Rondine from the same design studio 

CENTURY DRAGON 1963 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA TZ (TUBOLARE ZAGATO)⁠

CENTURY DRAGON 1964 ALFA ROMEO (GIULIETTA) SPRINT 1300 BY SCAGLIONE/BERTONE

@hobbydragon I have a Leomodels/Fabbri 1/24 of that. One of their Alfa centenary series. Looks great in red.

@geoff-jowett are you collecting different scales? not 1/43 only?

@hobbydragon yep. I have around 850 1/24s, 100 1/43s, and 5 1/18s, and a single 1/16.

Franklin Mint started selling diecast from their Australian distribution center in the mid 80s. Starting with the 1/24 red Mercedes 500K quickly followed by Rolls Royce AX201. I bought both straight away and was hooked. As I simply started with 1/24 I stayed with them until Danbury Mint ceased 1/24 production, then started buying 1/43. Thanks for asking.

I've stacked with 1/43 for my entire life))))

@hobbydragon More correctly, a Bizarre model from Fernando Pinto. But both Spark and Bizarre brands are under the Minimax umbrella. Was this car ever actually red?

Yes, this kid found it in a used car lot in Michigan, USA, in 1963!!!  Supposedly imported by your friend, "Wacky" Arnolt!

He had it restored and sold later to raise funds for his wife's cancer treatments.

MAKE UP VISION 1965 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA TZ2 BY ZAGATO

Far less expensive than those resin models are the Canguro (Kangaroo) by Politoys and the TZ2 by Minichamps.

@mg-harv I definitely know about these models, and even had them previously. Anyway, I'm trying now to collect the models with similar aesthetics, which means that 99.9 per cent of my collection consists of hand made resin-cast miniatures.

...little bit out of the years sequence, but these are a newcomers, so I publish them right now.
