Classic Ford Models

With many of us interested in Classic Ford models I thought I'd finally start a thread about it.

 
Not that kind of models! Get your minds out of the gutter guys
 
The toy type, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, RC etc if its scale model of a Classic Ford post it here and we'll see if we can get some more life in the site.
 
I know Deano keeps an eye out for the Hot Wheels releases as he passes them, they're my little treat for shopping with the girly and makes those arduous trips a little nicer.
 
Theres a few Small Fords in the releases this year, Escort Cosworth (two colours) RS200 in Gulf livery etc. With the 60th anniversary of Mustang theres also a nice little set of them to collect
Heres a link to all of the 2025 releases.

One I've been looking for and is obviously close to my heart is the Mk1 Lotus Cortina that I found in Wollies this morning.
See shopping with the Mrs isn't so bad after all

    I have a few to add to the thread! 

    My favorite though is a recent addition, my partner got me this for my 40th! She apparently ran around all over the place trying to find a model like mine and even conspired with the RS club here in Vic to source one. She's not bad when she wants to be .

    I have a few models of Escort and Capri Cologne models, an RS200 road version 1/18 . My most valuable model is a 1/18 MK2 Escort RS1800 British airways rally car too commemorated Bjorn Waldergaards 1979 championship. So what I hear... It is a super limited 1 of 50 signed by Bjorn with authentic certificate . I paid about £60 back in 2004 I think , it's gotta be worth heaps now.
    I don't collect model cars no more and all are still in boxes whether it's a basic red mk1 escort 1100 or bubble arch silver mk1, they are stored safety away

    good idea Drew!.
    How do you know when you have reread back issues of CF magazine too many times?
    When you recognise the 'models' in Drews post.
    They were also pictured at a car show draped over the bonnet of a black hearse, all goth/dead like.
     
    But I digress.
    I dont have a favourite model as such, but will have to take a few pics.
     
    Have to keep an eye out for that Cortina, someone clears out our local Woolies of anything good, just leaving  the Teslas, and American SUV.s behond.
     
    I'm lucky same as you Mark  to also have been given models of cars I've owned, inc an MX5, RX8, and bonus if they are in the exact colour.
     
    A 1/18th Escort is on my wishlist, although the 1/10 RC model is filling that void for now.
    I hope your signed example is on display in the good room Marty, along side the expensive china and Royal Daultons.
     
    What else are you looking for? I'd like the rally transporter pack that came out a few years ago.

    My paltry collection.
    Sad to say I have never bought one of these. Given to me by friends who are into them and for some reason think I might like one?
    Sorry just not my thing.
