They started issuing really nice subject cars we thought might never get built, but the made them so plasticky and still charged an arm and a leg for them. The Blower Bentleys from a few years ago was a good example of that. They weren't a hit with the collectors, as a result, but Minichamps did not seem to learn as they came up with a very disappointing model of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B coupe just recently...... Another flop with collectors, IMO.....
Why they think they can botch up models of such beautiful and iconic cars and charge a lot of money for them belies the fact that they had been in the business for a long time and should know better.
