    the cheaper ones here are made by solido. They're half the price of the Autoart models.

    Autoart is £50..solido is £25 (if my maths is correct) both 1:18

    Hello fellow model collectors. I mainly collect ChampCar diecast but I also like collecting GT's and have a reasonable collection. I am quite a fan of prototypes and was very happy to see Montoya win the Rolex 24 hour race last weekend. The first thing I thought was "Man I want a diecast of that car" I contacted Motorsport Authentics who made Daytona Prototypes in the past and asked if they would make one. I was basically told no.

    If you are like me and you want one of these cars in your collection can I ask that you contact Motorsport Authentics and tell them you want one. After all without demand there is no supply....

    I stopped bothering with MA. They keep raising their prices and not including anything new I still buy maybe 1-2 Harvick cars a year, but only raced versions.

    I have no need to buy model cars. I can make them instead. Being a scratch builder and having a very large reference library i can build any car that's out there. Right now i have two cases of Crawford number Citgo 20(tony stewart) cars that i'm converting into The Boss Snowplow car for EFR. I make my own markings. My own personal collection was donated to the Watkins Glen Motorracing research Library. Each car has been signed by the original drivers. IE: MB300sl signed by Moss and Jenks, Porsche 935 Moby Dick both versions. 956 1983 Le Mans Car signed by all the drivers...Silk Cut Jag's signed by all the winning drivers. Momo 935 Moby Dick signed by Morretti. in total there are about 100 models that i have built that are there on display. Currently I'm making a replica starting grid of the 1988 Le Mans. 30 cars have been made.

    Would you be willing to post the picture when you're done, as it was my favorite year of Le Mans? Maybe slide the #2 out front when you take the picture?

    Thanks.

    I don't have a web site never needed one....I have 2 years worth of work right now..everything is word of mouth for me..i have clients all over the world. If I put the number two out front on the grid then you'll know who won. Right now I'm working on a Vasek Polok 917.
