Upcoming Minichamps of interest http://www.Minichamps.de (the company website) is showing its releases from weeks 35 -41 at the moment.
Of possible interest to forum members are
1968 Mustang F/Bk in red (wk 35)
1974 Dodge Monaco in blue (wk 37)
1949 Ford FL Cabrio (49 convertible)in black (wk 37)
1928 Ford Model A in Beige (wk 41)
Also possibly of interest to Karl in wk 38
1964 Alfa 2600 Spider in red
The photos of the Dodge and the 49 in particular look very good

I really like the '49 Ford convertible I have in maroon, but I wish they had picked ANY other color than black! Why? The maroon is very dark, and almost looks black; black is not usually related to "sporty" convertibles.
I assume the Model A tan is a re-issue? I have a tan, as well as a green one.

Speaking of Minichamps, I found 3 Minichamps and 2 Spark models in the latest issue of The Car Room Magazine that I would like to have. I emailed Minichampsna for a retail dealer but that dealer only had two on his website of the ones I wanted. Does anyone know of a dealer that handles the entire line of either Minichamps or Spark? Or a dealer that can get specific models if he doesn't have them in stock? I'm aware of Sportcraft and Replicarz for racing models but these are not in that category. Thanks.

I wonder why they keep reissuing the Model A in beige?
Minichamps could do so much more with this - top down, tudor, pickup, depot wagon, etc. At least change the color!

Try ebay Willie
Dealers there who have carried Minichamps are plentiful, just watch the feedback.

My local place in Indy (USA) will not order them, but get them in often...
They do not update their website - also they are on epay... That's why I keep missing the latest Minichamps - bummer, dude!
See gearheads
