Welcome to The Motorsport Collector!
A couple of new arrivals from MINICHAMPS this morning. Above: The ’40 Years of Williams’ set features the Alan Jones Saudia Williams Ford FW06 from 1978 and Filipe Massa’s Williams Martini Racing Mercedes FW40. Limited to 300 sets, we have 2 remaining. $199.95. Order HERE.
Also arriving today, the McLaren MP-X2 F1 Concept Study from 2018, produced in a Limited Edition of 300. $124.95. Order HERE.
Nothing like a slow news day, right?
A selection of Ferrari 312 B2 models have just been announced in 1/18 scale (Tecnomodel, above) and 1/43 scale (LookSmart, right).
LookSmart has also announced that they will produce the current Ferrari SF90 Formula 1 cars of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc in both 1/18 and 1/43 scale.
An October 30 advance order deadline has been set for the LookSmart Ferraris.
As always, the sooner you reserve a 1/18 Tecnomodel, the better. Lately, they have been producing larger Limited Editions than originally announced to satisfy the demand (as does BBR) but demand in the US usually overwhelms supply, especially with these classic racing cars.
Go to the 2019 Advance Order section of MotorsportCollector.com for all of the above or click on the links above for the individual lists.
Arriving this week: Tecnomodel’s 1/18 scale Ferrari 312B3. We have just one each remaining of the #12 Niki Lauda version (above) and the Clay Regazzoni Test Car (below).
$280.00 each plus shipping.

TopSpeed has announced a 1/18 scale Limited Edition resin model of the 2019 Rolex 24 at Daytona winning #10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPi-V.R of Wayne Taylor Racing.
Only 500 will be produced.
Drivers Renger van der Zande, Jordan Taylor, Fernando Alonso & Kamui Kobayashi started 6th in the strong 12 car DPi field and were at the head of the pack when the race was red flagged after 593 laps due to extreme weather conditions, scoring the second victory in three years for the Wayne Taylor Racing Team.
The model is projected to arrive in the US in early December. Reserve HERE!
It looks like Spark Model is about to announce production of three 1/43 versions of the short lived Vel’s Parnelli Jones VPJ4 Formula One car as driven by Mario Andretti from late 1974 until early 1976.
Several versions of the Parnelli VPJ4 appeared in the 2014 Spark Catalog but were never released:
The #55 Viceroy liveried car (seen above) marked the VPJ4’s F1 debut at the 1974 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport.
Andretti’s highest finish with the VPJ4 was a 4th in the 1975 Swedish Grand Prix at the wheel of the non-Viceroy liveried #27 seen below.
The #27 VPJ4 sported a blue and white American Racing Wheels livery for its final GP appearance at Long Beach in 1976.
Release dates unavailable at this time. We are accepting advance orders on all three models HERE.
