Sorry guys for keeping you waiting! Been a busy few days. Soon promise! ::rimshot::
Here's my AUTOart 917; perhaps this will motivate you to be less busy and post those pics. 🙄

Here you go 😀 Sorry about the delay! These are just crappy phone pix. These don’t do the iconic cars justice.

Porsche’s 1st 24H of Le Mans Over-All win is with the 917K and the #20 Gulf is the star of Le Mans film by SMQ. 👍

Porsche’s 1st sports car, the Porsche 356. This is also the first model to carry the name “Carrera” 😉 The 356 Speedster was a personal car by SMQ and he did some races with the #71 Speedster. King of Cool! 😎

I also have a habit of pairing some of my Heuer/TAG Heuer chronographs with my 1/18 model cars that I have. 😉 Obviously the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 SMQ is paired with the Porsche 917K and now the Heuer Monaco Vintage Calibre 11 is for the Porsche 356 Speedster 😎😎

Well worth the wait and the pics are incredible, wow! Please don't lead me into another collecting arena. Nevermind, I will just enjoy your pictures of pure art cars!

Thank you sir and very kind of you! It just goes hand-in-hand for me 👍 My passion for motorsports fuels my passion for watches (particularly TAG Heuer) and my passion for TAG Heuer fuels my passion for motorsports (particularly F1) 🥰🥰

Best thing about one’s passion is sharing the joy and happiness, in turn, inspires and motivates others and spreads enjoyment in our passion 😀

Looking forward to this one! I bet someone else is too @Mspeedster ?!

In theory, I would be too but I was not a fan of the move from 7 studs wide to 8 studs wide that Lego made for the Speed Champions range.

For anyone interested, I just spotted a LEGO James Bond Aston-Martin D85 kit. Appears to have most of the 007 gadgets present on it too. Yes, even the ejection seat!

Holy cow, there's even an optional LED light kit available!

I hear you, I also prefer the Lego Creator size cars compared to the Speed Champions. But I think the Supra looks pretty good for a Lego car.

It’s a good start 😉

Heres a couple from my Withers of Winsford collection, all 1/43. Cal Withers that run the cars was actually my Dads cousin, although I didnt find out this until a few years ago!.
Cal heard that I was trying to collect the cars and very kindly gave me his own personal collection to me not long before his passing. The book is a signed copy from one of his drivers Chris Sclater.
I will get pics of the rest once in a display cabinet.
