Hey Tumbo, you have been very quiet in the buying/converting of 143 rally cars. Too much studying?

This is another easy one for me.
My favourite 1:43 would have to be the 1992 Skaife?richards Bathurst winner as seen below on my Dio.
And my favourite 1:64 is either my 1990 Bathurst winner or my 78 Bathurst winner.

Like everyone else, it's difficult to choose a single car. My shortlist include the Minichamps 1998 "Naked Lady" Porsche 911 GT2, Minichamps 1998 "Loctite" McLaren Longtail & Biante's 1976 Bathurst Winner, but I've really been bitten by the Transporters bug and this one's my favourite - love the shape, the colour and the detail :

This one is by Spark - I don't think Minichamps have produced any transporters to date, but Spark have produced 5 or 6 - two versions of the 1960's Lotus transporter, the 1970 "Matra" transporter, the 1973 "Gulf" Mirage / Porsche transporter plus the above 1961 Ecurie Ecosse transporter just to name a few.

1/43 Franklin Mint - Richard Petty Hauler (Transporter)

I wish somebody would make a v8 supercar transporter, hopefully to the same quality as the one above.

I wish somebody would make a v8 supercar transporter, hopefully to the same quality as the one above. There already is mate.;) Theres a DJR Transporter and another ford one but I forgot what it is. I don't think they are as good quality as Franklin mint but they still look pretty cool.

But not 1:43 scale. They are 1:24 or 1:32 from memory.

As 1/43 is my favourite scale I have too many favourites:o a few to mention would be:

As this car is one of my all time favourites I would like ask about the quality and accuracy of the model in comparison to ones made by Minichamps which I have. If possible could you post a pic. Thanks.

To me it looks more accurate than the Minichamps i.e the body is not as square.As it's a much much newer casting,quality looks light years ahead;)

Will try and get a pic.

CC made two 1/43??? transporters, DJR and FPR but the quality was poor. Eligor make good F1 transporters but not near the quality of the Franklin Mint. My second favourite 1/43 is my Premium ClassiXXS Martini Transporter, also great quailty and detail, a bit of theme here I think!

I've got an Eligor 1:43 Toyota F1 transporter from 2002 and was terribly disappointed. No detail at all. Overpriced too.

Those Spark transporters are fantastic.
