PIC: Something different #145 (7/1/2026)

Gorgeous and so successful.

In my opinion, the most iconic Jaguar Race car. The first to win with disc brakes piloted by Stirling Moss. Thanks for featuring this one, John.

@david-green My pleasure David.

Absolutely LOVE the C Type. My only model of it is in 1/18th scale; an AUTOart.

Amazing, 73+ years young AND STILL beautiful 🙌

An amazing car and model. Thanks guys for sharing both.💯😎

Tony, I love the model...thanks for sharing.

Stunning car and comprehensive and detailed history, thanks John. I have 2 models of it. A nice IXO 1/43:

What The Man said!!

@geoff-jowett Terrific models Geoff. BRG makes it my favorite.

thanks gents. Having a genuine hand made limited edition model of a brilliant car makes the Historic Replicars model so special. Here's a bit more on Historic Replicars:

1/43 and 1/24 scale white metal, handmade models and kits from England.  Owned and Built by the late John Haynes (in the mid-180's to mid-1990's?).  Usual runs of 1/24 scale models limited to 250 handmade pieces or less.  Most 1/24 pieces were mounted on a smoke colored pexiglass plinth base with number in edition, car make/model on a small metal plate.  Some pieces have signatures of the drivers on metal plates on the plinth base.  All limited edition models came with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by John Haynes.

A contemporary of John Haynes wrote in the Scale 142 forum, that Ernie Knott who founded Enco Models and was also a restorer of Facel Vega automobiles painted all the 1/24 bodies and John assembled them.  After John Haynes passing, the moulds for some or all of his 1/24 model cars were purchased by K&R Replicas and are still available from K&R in kit form.

Here is a list of the Historic Replicars 1/43 scale models.

1954 Ferrari 500/625 F1
