4/27/07 UPDATE: Two new 1/12 scale competition Cobras have arrived from GMP. Both have been produced in very small Limited Editions (350 each). The black #15 was driven at Sebring in 1963 by Dan Gurney and Phil Hill (more photos HERE) and the yellow #96 was Allen Grant's ride at Santa Barbara that same year (photos HERE). Very collectible at $499.95 each.
4/26/07 UPDATE: Check out the incredible detail on CMC's latest release - due here in about a week - the Ferrari 500 F2. Click on the banner above for the full photo set.
4/21/07 UPDATE: There wasn't enough time to put out an Email Update last week. Here's the latest: The Bernard Cahier books are expected within the week. Less than 10 copies remain. First come, first served. A new addition to the Minichamps Ayrton Senna Collection is scheduled to arrive at TMC around mid-week. It's the 1/12 scale Lotus Renault 97T that took Senna to his first Grand Prix victory in 1985. It will feature a removable cowling and fully detailed engine and cockpit. Monday and Tuesday, we'll be contacting those of you who reserved this piece back when it was announced (in 2004!) to confirm your orders. We will have extra cars available ($279.00 plus shipping) next week and as soon as they arrive, we'll get some better photos up on the site for you.
The Jim Clark Team Lotus book and the GMP 1/12 scale Gurney/Hill Sebring Cobras are due in the next week or so. More details next week.
4/19/07 UPDATE: One of the most popular (if not THE most popular) 1/18 scale model we've ever stocked is the Minichamps Mark Donohue Penske Sunoco Porsche 917/30 that was released about 5 years ago. Well, we don't know if there was an additional production run or if someone found some sitting in a warehouse somewhere but a limited number of these models are now available at TMC ($139.95). All are numbered (low numbers, I might add) and in mint condition. Reserve now!
We're expecting delivery of the new Bernard Cahier memoir 'F-Stops, Pit Stops, Laughter & Tears' in about a week. Only a few copies remain. Give us a call at 800.722.8630 to reserve your copy of this 'must have' new book.
4/17/07UPDATE: Sorry for the lack of updates the past week or so. I'm back from a week's R&R, including the Long Beach GP and will be picking up the pace as we head into a busy couple of months for collectors. Just in this morning; the 1/43 scale Minichamps McLaren Mercedes MP4/21 driven by Kimi Raikkonen during the 2006 Formula One season. It's the first 'new look' McLaren release from Minichamps and features the Johnny Walker liveries missing on the HW 1/18 released previously. They've added a premiun for the extra shiney silver paint. SRP is $48.00, TMC price $42.95 plus shipping.
More new Minichamps arrivals will be posted to the New Diecast Page later today.
