Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Today’s entry is a quickie as I’m out of the office this afternoon at a meeting with one of our suppliers.

We received Trofeu’s 1:43 two car Ford Capri set from the 1971 Nurburgring Six Hours (TR2391). The cars featured are the #12 pole position car of Stomellen and Soler-Roig, and the winning #14 car of Glemser and Marko. It is a limited edition of just 404 pieces worldwide.

We also received this week’s Minichamps delivery. The headliner was the next 1:8 Valentino Rossi helmet (they’re coming thick and fast now!), his 2007 pre-season testing version, in black with the sword down the front (PO79046).
