    Okay. If you have any AUTOart collectibles in your collection, please post pics and your opinions. I have just decided to add the AUTOart Lamborghini's to my Ferrari Collection since the older Ferrari Diecast (Minichamps, UT, Exoto, etc.) is getting harder to find. Even the new Mattel and Kyosho releases are taking longer than expected.

    The Black Countach 5000 :D and the Red Muira SV :) I just received last week. I just ordered the Green Murcielago :) and the Orange Gallardo :p with Clear Engine Bonnet. I will be receiving these 2 next week. I also have the Gallardo Police Car and Red Countach 5000S on Back Order. I will post pics later of mine, but for now I will post the AUTOart Website pics.

    These are the two I have. The viper is pretty nicely detailed. I recently saw one go for $300 on ebay, it makes me wish I would have kept it in the box at that price. The mirrors broke off my Lotus quite easily. I guess the model is built as well as the car. Now that is authenticity.

    Autoart is my favorite diecast company, here are the Aas I have
    BMW Z8 E52
    Bugatti EB 18/3 Chiron
    Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06
    Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible (which I traded away)
    Lamborghini Diablo GTR
    Lamborghini Diablo VT
    Porsche 996 911 GT3 RS
    Saleen Mustang S351

    I'd recommend all of these. The Chiron is absolutely stunning and my most favorite model right now, the Z06 and Diablo GTR in particular have very good detail, and the GT3 RS is the best Porsche model I own and definitely one of the better Porsche models out there

    I will be getting the White Countach in a few weeks. The Red Muira SV is the 1 I just got last week.

    You asking about this one?

    Nissan Skyline GTR R32 Police Car, (Ibaraki-Kenkei) L.E. 6,000 pcs.

    I had sold some of these when I had my store. I even had the 1:12 Mercedes CLK GTR and Lamborghini Murcielago. I wish I would have just kept them now. But when I had the store, I had to sell most everything to pay the bills. Now that I no longer have the store, I have decided to buy the Lamborghini's, Bugatti's & Lotus' for my collection to break up the small sea of red.

    As far as the SEALED CARS, They were required by the FIA to make them that way. Rules were to have the cars released the same year as they were being raced. Therfore because they were not able to view the ENGINE COMPARTMENT, they had to resort to making the SEALED BODY.

    How big is your entire collection???? You always have something to post. KEEP IT UP!

    This is a good questions... I have not make a count yet. I think about 700+ 1/18 cars, 50+ 1/12 cars, 500+ 1/43 cars around....

    Usually, I have a budgeted spending on model cars for 2500USD each month approximately, but I always overspent.

    I have a few:

    Silver McLaren F1
    Black (maybe it's green?) 911
    Orange Murci
    Blue Diablo SV

    The McLaren and 911 were damaged when the display case they were in fell of the wall. The Porsche is in very bad shape. Wheels won't stay on, are the main things.

    The McLaren looks fine, except the mirrors came off, and one of the door latches is "broken" and won't hold the door up. I still haven't replaced them. :(

    Autoart never made a McLaren F1, but UT Models which was Autoart's predecessor under Gateway Global did. If UTs count in this topic, than I have 2, they're both Porsche 993s, a burgundy Turbo and purple Carrera S
