Welcome to The Motorsport Collector!
Due to the extremely high demand for their 1/18 scale Denis Hulme McLaren M20 in 1972 Watkins Glen Can Am livery, Tecnomodel has tentatively agreed to produce a second version of the car to commemorate Team McLaren’s final Can Am Pole Position at the 1972 Road America Can Am.
Details to follow. You can reserve the Road America car HERE.
Our pre-order deadline for the latest 1/18 and 1/43 lineup from Spark Model is tomorrow, July 11.
Some great stuff here.
Check out The List.
Response to last week’s Email Updates featuring 1/18 scale McLaren M20 and McLaren M6 Can Am cars from Tecnomodel was off the charts. If you have not placed an order as yet, we strongly suggest that you do so asap.
With the rather small Limited Editions that Tecnomodels is producing, we expect most, if not all, to be pre-sold out very soon.
The Hulme M20 is ‘wait listed’ at this time.
Order below:
Happy Independence Day!
Before we closed for the Holiday, we received the latest 1/18 and 1/43 new product announcements from Spark Model.
Headlining the new 1/18 scale offerings is the #73 Ford GT40 driven to victory by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby in the 2000km 1965 Daytona Continental, the first victory for the Ford GT and the first outing for the cars under Shelby American leadership.
An important chapter in the Ford GT story.
$199.00 – Reserve HERE. A ‘December 2018’ release is planned, but you know how that goes. Sure to be popular, so reserve early.
I’ll post information on the rest of the items after the Fourth.
Even more 1/18 scale Pony Car announcements from Acme Trading Co!
They will produce 1/18 scale Limited Edition (350 each) runs of the 1968 Shelby GT350H ‘Rent A Racer’ in two colors, Dark Poly Green and Raven Black.

Jim Clark: The Best of the Best
by David Tremayne
Jim Clark was a genuine sporting hero. He won 25 of his 72 Grands Prix and in the sixties was the yardstick by which every other driver on the starting grid was judged, and by which they judged themselves. Quite simply, Clark was peerless. Stubborn and notoriously indecisive outside the car, he would nervously chew his fingernails, but he was a genius when he got behind the wheel. To many he remains the greatest racing driver of all time, not just because of his fearsome strike rate and the magnitude and manner of his achievements, but also because he remained humble and unspoiled throughout. Published on the 50th anniversary of Clark-s death, this book, 20 years in the making, is a deeply detailed look at a complex and compelling character.
