Out With The New, In With The New!

Today we received a couple of new 1:43 replicas from SMTS, of two very famous cars in Formula One history.

The first is of Stirling Moss’s Lotus 18 that he used to brilliantly win the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix (SMTS075), managing to hold off the trio of much faster Ferrari Sharknoses of Hill, Ginther and von Trips for the entire race. We will also shortly be offering this replica signed by Moss (SMTS075S).

The second replica is of the great Jim Clark’s very first Grand Prix car; the Lotus 18 that he raced in the 1960 Dutch Grand Prix (SMTS076). SMTS will be making pretty much all of Clark’s cars over the coming months, and few will be more significant than this.

We also received a new signed replica today; Sun Star’s 1:24 model of the last ever Routemaster, signed by its driver Winston Briscoe (SS2914S).

Finally today, Norev informed us of a few cancellations to its forthcoming 1:18 releases. The ‘Wrooom’ Fiat 500 snow race cars of Felipe Massa (NV187734), Luca Badoer (NV187735), and Marc Gene (NV187736), will now not be made.
