AUTOart 2006 Jaguar XK Coupe

Jaguar fans may have already splashed out on the Minichamps version of the 1/18 scale 2006 Jaguar XK, but personally I think it is usually worth waiting the extra time it takes to get a more detailed replica onto the market.

Don’t get me wrong, the Minichamps version is a great replica for the price, and the AUTOart version is quite a bit more expensive at £49.99, but you get what you pay for as they say because the attention to detail is stunning.

Want one? Grand Prix Legends will sort one for you.

Minichamps Porsche 911 GT3 RSR

The prototype for this model was first shown at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 2006.  We have had to wait a painful 12 months before Minichamps were happy enough with the finished product to release it onto the market.

As with any Porsche RS model, the 911 GT3 RSR was devoid of any unnecessary equipment, which included stereo, sunroof, rear seats, air conditioning or sound deadening insulation, although later, air con and a CD stereo were available as optional extras.

All this weight saving effort ended up producing what is probably one of the most complete track day cars available.

This 1/18 scale replica of the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR from Minichamps is available now from Grand Prix Legends priced at £49.99
