The rest of my Christmas haul.
All bought on sale from various sources at good discounts.

The Minichamps Bugatti Type 57S was on my list for some time, many are languishing on ebay so this may be a case of Minichamps not gauging the market well. Pictures I've seen of the actual car (including at Pebble Beach in 2003) reflect the model's accuracy, but the folded top boot should have been black, not red.

Truescale's Bemtley EXP 12 Speed 6E concept car, first appearing at Geneva in 2017 (TSM mistakenly used 2015 as the date, which is the date of the similar EXP 10 Speed 6 coupe I posted a while back). The "E" in the name means electric, so Bentley doesn't want to be left out of future propulsion systems. Does it look like the mirrors fell off? No, those stubs contain cameras which deliver the rear view to the dash. The "6" behind the grille is nicely done.

Looksmart 1963 Ferrari 250P, a third place finish at Le Mans. This completes my podium set, since I already have the winner by LookSmart and the second place 250 GTO by Kyosho.

LookSmart Ferrari 250LM, a DNF at Le Mans 1968. Another for my NART sub-collection.

Those are terrific models. Nice proportions, detail and finished to a high standard.

I like both, but the black Bugatti by Minichamps appears to be a real honey. Congratulations!
