They obviously did not have us gamers in mind. Maybe we need to make pulp concept cars...how tough could it be,we'll call Corgi say hey how about, What about model kits,like old MRC.,or AMT., or Monogram.? Nevermind I guess most kits are 1/25th or 1/16th

I don't know if it's my dream vehicle, but I fell in love with my motorbike (an '86 BMW K75c) and I hope to keep it for as long as I can!

My two fave cars I've owned are a 1970 AMC Javelin...



And the most fabulous '74 Eldorado Convertible...WITH A 501 (8.9 C.L.)!



Both pics are the duplicate colors.

I do like that Eldorado, I'd love to drive that but it wouldn't fit in some the country lanes and villages round yer!

But this was one that Dad owned and I drove just after passing my test!



Opel Manta

It was a peach and I would love to try driving one again.

My Dad had one of these in the same colour. He sold it before I got my car licence though.  :'(

So, how do we get a Phantom, or any of the other cool cars we require, in 1/48? Who do we commission?

The old Manta is a lovely and affordable oldtimer. It's the most "Mustang" you could get in Europe, I guess.

I could see the Shadow driving one of these! If I could get one in 1:1 scale I'd have to dress like The Shadow I think!
