I was looking through the models I don't have and/or would like to add to my collection and there are a few, as I really only wanted to get the Bathurst winners but all these cars are so good that I would like to slowly end up with all the cars on my list that I missed previously (damn the model car bug - when it bites it bites hard) :D
Seeing as though these models have been and gone and are now on the open market for a little more than retail (most of them) or less sometimes I was wondering if admin could give us V8/Aussie Motor-racing Car collectors some idea of what race version of cars are likely to end up parked in our display cabinets this year or will I have to satisfy the urge by purchasing models gone by???
Maybe just a short list admin? Pleeeeassssse.

The only 2 cars I have seen in transit/production are the Dick Johnson XE and the Skaife/Richards 91 Bathurst Winner and also heard that the Mini from 1966 and Skaife/Richards VX 2002 Bathurst Winner is coming this year too...there must be more...

a Good starting point could be to look at the models that are already made as a mould i.e. Sierra, VR ,XE etc and then look at the racecar that can be crafted from this.
This is a sure way to make the developmentcost pay and from that new models can be created.

Admin posted in an earlier thread
possibably next in the brock collection,
brocks first monaro
and maybe the vc commodore.
so maybe another car to add to the bathurst winners collection.
question to admin,
if & when you do the vc commodores will you be adding the brock repco round australia rally car to the brock collection, surely this would have make the brock collection.

Quite a while ago admin mentioned that the Barra & Vy sedan's & utes were comming, as were the EB & EL road cars (possibly GT's).
There were also quite a lot of new mini cars comming (can't remember but look for a post back in October) as well as the

Bathurst 24 hr winner was also being measured up to be made, as was the HRT 427 - 90% sure on this one.

Otherwise there are still some others that admin has suggested, but given us no idea of what they were (I suppose they need to somethings to them selfs saved for later!!!)

cheers.
