7/27/07 UPDATE: Slowly returning to 'normal' after a beautiful weekend at Road America. We've added a fresh selection of 1/43 scale models from Spark, Bizarre and Minichamps that arrived this week, including the Juan Manuel Fangio Alfa Romeo Tipo 159f rom 1951(seen above) and a selection of current and vintage LeMans racers. Photos HERE.
The Graham Hill Scrapbook ($89.95) is now in stock and is as good, if not better than the previous Stirling Moss Scrapbooks from the same publisher.
7/18/07 UPDATE: Please note, our Downers Grove Gallery will be closed this Saturday, July 20 and will reopen when we return on Monday. This little beauty is Spark's 1/43 scale model of the Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark and Trevor Taylor at LeMans in 1962 ($49.95). We'll have some with us at Road America this weekend and we'll leave a few home with Jeff if you wish to drop by and pick one up (or have one shipped) Thursday or Friday. See you at Elkhart. Looks like the weather will be beautiful for a change!
7/13/07 UPDATE: After a rather quiet period, three great new books are due to arrive here in the next week or so. They are;
1982: The Inside Story of an Astonishing GP Season by Christopher HIlton. Twenty five years ago, Formula One endured one of the most chaotic seasons in its history. A drivers strike, the death of two drivers - including the legendary Gilles Villeneuve, the FOCA/FISA conflict, Pironi's devastating injuries at a foggy Hockenheim and a surprise World Champion to cap it all off. Hilton takes a comprehensive look at 1982 with circuit maps, results and commentary from participants and fans alike. $57.95
Graham Hill Scrapbook 1929-1966 by Philip Porter. The author follows up his excellent Stirling Moss Scrapbooks with this personal history of Graham Hill and his racing life through the 1966 season. Hill's own scrapbooks are used to create this fascinating look at one of the sport's icons. $90.00
Monaco Grand Prix: A Photographic Portrait by Michael Hewett. Lots of 'first time' photos in this 320 page epic, most taken by the author, who has covered the Monaco GP since 1962. Archive photos take you back to the early days of this glamorous event, capturing the beauty and excitement of racing at the Principality. $66.95
CMC has sent us photos of their new Bugatti Type 35 which is 'on the water' and due to arrive here in the US in a month or so. Looks like they have another winner on their hands. View the whole photo set HERE and reserve now ($269.00).
7/9/07 UPDATE: We neglected to add the IXO Audi R10s to our 2007 LeMans model list on Saturday. Click HERE.
7/7/07 UPDATE: The model manufacturers have announced an unprecidented selection of 1/43 scale miniatures of the cars that competed in the 2007 24 Hours of LeMans. We have listed the offerings from IXO, Minichamps, Spark and RedLine HERE. Check out the listings and order early. We will add 'late' additions to this selection as they arrive.
7/6/07 UPDATE: Some recent acquisitions have been
added to our Out
of Print Automobile Year
page. We've also adjusted some prices. The latest from Carousel
1, the Roger McCluskey's 1972 Ontario winning McLaren M16, is
now available ($159.95). Pre-orders shipped today. Photos
next week.
7/5/07 UPDATE: Our web hosting company migrated our website to some new, faster servers over the Holiday. Unfortunately, they forgot to switch to the appropriate IP address, effectively knocking us off the 'air' for a short time. Sorry for the inconvenience. We posted information on a couple of IXO LeMans restocks before heading to the Heart concert at Ribfest on Tuesday. You can find the photos HERE.
We're open 'regular' summer hours for the rest of the week. Stop in and buy something!
