Ive got loads of HPI Alfa 155’s (only 2 I haven’t got). They’re going for silly money on eBay these days.
Speaking of daft money, i bought this when I was working at the Sheraton Hotel , Edinburgh, (again keep clear of the staircases ;)) a place called Wonderland Models I think, paid around £70 and the Mrs went mad lol. Would cost a fair bit more to replace now though, the xj13 is a bit of an artwork.

It's 1:20.5 scale, about 2 foot long, got two of them, plus a K-27 Mikado even bigger in the garage in it's box.
Massive. My old man has been spending lockdown in his shed finishing his much smaller 00 gauge interpretation of the Great Central Railway of his youth when steam was on its last legs. He’s been a very busy boy.

amazing set up, i'm assuming he is going to at least insulate the box profile roofing sheets otherwise he will get a load of dripping condensation coming off those

That Urraco is gorgeous. I drove the 1:1 version once - handled brilliantly but needed more oomph. Belonged to a good friend who went from E30 M3 to the Lamborghini to two kids and an Audi estate. He has since recovered.

That is very impressive

I've got a few Polistil models in the loft from when I was a kid including a Lancia Fulvia and Alfa Montreal which is what made my fall in love with Italian cars. I might go and look them out.

Amalgam , for some reason I thought they were an American company.
