My final posting of cars in my collection. This one arrived last night which was fitting as it is my 70th birthday tomorrow. The model is a 1939 Citroen 15 CV Sedan by Soledo (#-32). I've also included a photo of the glass display case, very sparse in comparison to some of the collections here but one that I get great pleasure from. And I am sure that the collection will get added to from time-to-time. I may also add an additional shelf as there is plenty of room for that and considering some LED lighting down each side.

That is a fine collection and you said the key word there...PLEASURE! something we all get from our collections but once collecting becomes a chore, its time to stop.

Thanks for your kind comments Ghosthunter and Gary. Although I have posted everything I have currently, I will post anything that gets added to my collection in the future. I have learnt that there is a belated birthday present on its way to me by courier which is a diecast car of some kind so a surprise awaits.

Well, the unknown has now become known! A Newray 1911 Chevy Classic 6 Roadster that has functional doors and a bonnet that opens on one side to reveal some engine details. A nice gift.

That is smart, not ever seen one of those models before. Is it around 1/43rd scale.

The scale is actually 1/32 but difference hardly noticeable in comparison to the 1/43 models in the cabinet. Certainly not as well finished as Matchbox models.
This is a photo under the bonnet.

Yes, there are others in the range. They have a catalogue - you can start here where I have selected Hong Kong (There are other countries you can select) and flick through the pages of the catalogue.

Incidentally, regarding my Chevy, the 1911 model was the prototype which was made without windscreen or hood. In 1913 the model went into production with the additional screen and hood.
