I’ve literally just started a 1/43 collection. Got quite a few 1/18s and loads of 1/25 plastic kits but I’ve found the variety, not to mention cost, and ease of storage is far greater in 1/43.
So far only got a handful of Group B racers but got a huge list. Mainly of cars I’d love to own but resigned myself to that boat being long sailed, so settling for a model

Like the Sunbeam, I've got a Tony Pond rally version (goes with the TR7 V8 and Metro 6R4).

That really is quite some collection of 6R4's, makes my collection of 1/36 Corgi minis look pointless! Here's some of my 1/43 collection DS420 Limo and Hearse. Absolutly had to have them as soon as they were released. Morris Oxford, Austin Cambridge, MG ZA Magnette, MG ZB Magnette. BMC Service vans Silas Resin Austin Maxi. Probably the most I'm ever likley to spend on a model car, but I did. Spark Broardspeed Mini. Ive always liked the shape of these, but spark models are generaly quite expensive. Not this one, and its not even been unwrapped. Some of my BTCC collection. I have afew more 1/43's, but these are the favourites.

I often feel like i should have gone for 1/43 or 1/24 scale rather than 1/18 as they take up so much space. I have a 1/43 Ax rally car as it's the only size Ax model (other than tiny or 1/18) Love the BTCC ones

Some 1/43 Minis from Corgi and Vitesse. Some real rarities in there. And a 1/130 Clubman Estate sitting on top of a 1/43 Mini van. Dispite it being tiny its very well modelled, I remember seeing these years ago at a couple of mini shows but didnt take any interest in them as I was more interested in 1/43 so I had no idea how good they were. They are made by a Japanese company called Model Planning. They also did saloons, travellers, wolseley hornets, convertables, Mini marcos. All are quite hard to find now.

Cheers, they were all bought from about 1994-2000 at mini shows and classic car shows, some were free, most were £5 and a coupe may have been £10. Ive still got the boxes for most of them. The magnifique can fetch quite abit mint boxed.

The magnifique can fetch quite abit mint boxed. Here's mine, not boxed but in 'fair' condition. Prices seem to range from £7-£90. Opening doors, bonnet & boot, sliding sunroof and tilting seats.

Silas Resin Austin Maxi. Probably the most I'm ever likley to spend on a model car, but I did. Oh I wish I hadn't seen this :-) I have many fond memories of my Dad's Harvest Gold Autsin* Maxi, can you get the model as a kit? * not a typo it had the tailgate replaced and the garage put the letters back on wrong.
