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

@hobbydragon One at the top of my list.

@gdh great car, hope you will get it))))

1/43 Matrix 1948 Bentley Mk VI Cresta FACEL By Pinin Farina⁠

The ff Cresta - a fascinating post-war story!  https://www.secret-classics.com/en/bentley-cresta/

I found the Cresta less than attractive. But Matrix also made this Facel-Metalon coupe from 1951. It placed 2nd at Pebble Beach in 2009.

@mg-harv Cresta just started Jean Danino’s FACEL story, I think it's very important from this point of view. I obveoulsly do have a FACEl-Metalon, but it will be posted under FACEL title

1/43 GLM 1936/2010 BENTLEY 4 1/4 LITRE ROADSTER BY CHALMERS & GATHINGS "EMBRICOS STYLE" (CH # B25GP)⁠⁠

This is one I've never seen before.

@gdh this one - is a newly built body on the original 1936 Bentley chassis. Chalmers & Gathings have done something in "Embricos" style, that lacks the beauty of an original Paulin design imho

@hobbydragon  I agree.  It is too stubby and lacks the elegance and line of the Embiricos.
