Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by Hot Wheels comes in many variants but the 599 per se is considered one of the finest castings in  the Hot Wheels Elite line.

However the contract of Ferrari with Hot Wheels is done and Bburago is now the official model maker of Ferrari. Collector groups have compared the two lines and have unanimously declared that the Hot Wheels Elite is the superior model.

What this means is that the Hot Wheels Elite line, whose production has already ceased, will be appreciating in value faster than normal discontinued lines.

Prices are creeping past the $200 mark as of press time so hold on to your HWE's!

A peek at the AUTOart Signature Series Mercedes 600 Pullman

Here's a little peek at the gem of my collection (along with another limo to follow)

The Mercedes 600 Pullman by AUTOart Signature Series

Aston Martin Trio

I have always had an affinity for Aston Martin's ever since I saw my uncles Corgi model of James Bonds Aston.

I got one for myself, gave it to my son to play with when he was 3 I think so you can imagine how it looks like now.

So these three Aston's count among my favorites, mainly because they are intact, avoided becoming teething rings and they are representative of that special Aston appeal.

Ferrari 512 BBi by Kyosho

Here is the Kyosho version of the Ferrari 512 BBi.

The most significant difference between the 512 BB and the 512 BBi is that the BBi has fuel injection. Hence the "i"

Cosmetically there were a few changes also, the most visible being the driving lights up front in the BBi.


This Kyosho model has excellent details and it was great fun taking photos of it for documentation purposes.
