1959 Maserati 250F

By J-F B Models Price £253.35 Material Resin handbuilt Expensive, but Maserati aficionados will appreciate this fine model of Zora ArkusDuntov’s colourful Meadowdale entry.

3. 1971 Lancia Dunja HF concept

By Alezan Price £163.30 Material Resin handbuilt It looks like a Saab Sonett III – and both cars were designed by Sergio Coggiola: the Lancia to promote Glasurit paint.

4. 1957 Ferrari-Mercedes 750 Monza

By Faenza 43 Price £188.95 Material Resin & metal handbuilt Yes, you read that right: this entry in the 1957 Venezuela GP was fitted with a Mercedes Gullwing engine. One suspects it was a tight squeeze…

5. 1970 Opel Commodore 3000 GS

By Minichamps Price £59.95 Material Diecast So much to look at on this Spa 24 Hours model – and all beautifully executed. Good value for this level of detail.

1940 Tatra T87

By Neo Price £67.95 Material Resincast Appropriately finished in black for 1940, when Czechoslovakia had been invaded by the Nazis, this is a super model of the Tatra, a favourite among SS officers.

7. 1948 Talbot-Lago TG26 Gran Sport

By Matrix Price £119.95 Material Resincast The appliqué brightwork on this model of a Saoutchik-bodied car is exquisite – as is the finish and detailing generally.

8. 1970 Dodge Challenger Trans-Am

By Spark Price £51.95 Material Resincast Hardly subtle, but very appealing, Sam Posey’s lime green racer has been very well depicted by Spark. Good value, too.

9. 2017 Aston Martin DB11

By TrueScale Miniatures Material Resincast Based on Aston’s first right-hand-drive press car, TrueScale’s excellent model is finished in authentic Cinnabar Orange. Price £89.95
