I just don't understand their limited range unless they have only been in business a short while or there are copyright issues! I reckon there would be massive demand for historic sport cars and similar top marque's! Im surprised there are no Lancia's or Ferrari's Lambo's etc. On their website there are some tasty cars, but most are sold out! quite understandably though! The Renault megane looks nice although never liked them as a real car and the Alfa 147 gta i think looks really nice!

It took them quite some effort to get the license from FIAT. And please note that they started off as a couple of friends whos idea it was to produce high quality niche market scale models. our philosophy

There are also copyright issues which have to be negotiated. In fact one of the reasons that the two Fiat models have been produced was that two members of this club were able to put Otto in touch with the relevant people at Fiat. 16VT and X1/9 1500 We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

It wasn't criticism! Just that there are so many other cars I would like to own, definitely a few of the earlier group A rally cars and some group B rally cars too!
