Hi, This thread is some kind similar to the Motromax Fresh cherries list of 5 cars that you like to see. This time is about the european brands, specially like Norev in 1/64, of some cars that you like to see in the 1/60-1/64 size

My suggestion for start are:

Norev:
-Peugeot 204
-Citroen LN
-Peugeot 304
-Renault 10
-Simca 1000
-Simca 1300
-Renault 8
-Fiat 600
-Fiat 850
-Fiat 1100
-Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan 1955-65


Hping your comments about this thread, thanks :thumbsup:

It would be really cool to see someone (Kyosho, Cm's...?) make some really rare cars. What do you think, is there a die-cast market for these beauties or are they just too odd and unknown?

I like to suggest (and also observed) that Norev didn´t made 3 inch cars from 1985 to 2000, so, if that brand are making almost all the french brand new cars since 2001, I like to sugest Norev to make the french cars of the 1985-2000 period, and my choices are


1987 Citroen AX
1991 Citroen ZX
1993 Citroen ZX break
1993 Citroen Xantia
1996 Citroen Saxo
1998 Citroen Xsara 5 dr

1986 Peugeot 309
1987 Peugeot 405 break
1991 Peugeot 106
1993 Peugeot 306
1997 Peugeot 406 break
1999 Peugeot 607

1986 Renault 21
1988 Renault 19 5 dr
1989 Renault 19 Chamade
1994 Renault Laguna
1996 Renault Laguna break
1996 Renault Mégane 5 dr
1997 Renault Mégane classic
1998 Renault Clio II


I think this is a good idea :) , observing that Norev made the succesors of that cars

hoping your comments about this


have a nice day :)

As I like your idea, it is very, very unlikely Norev will do 'obsolete' cars.
Norev is only creating cars that are ordered by their respectible creators, so if Citroën releases a new model, Norev is asked to make a 3 Inch version of that.
Norev will not make cars by own initiative and I don't think the brands will like cars that are 10 -15 years old to be modelled, except for really old cars like the current Renault Classics.

I would like accurate, well-detailed versions of the

NSU Ro80
Citroen CX
Fiat 130 Coupe
Lancia Flaminia GT
Lancia Flavia Zagato coupe

and most especially the

Lancia Gamma Coupe

also maybe the

Monteverdi 375 L, 375 I, & Berlinetta
Facel Vega Excellence (finned version)
Pegaso Z-102 Panoramica Coupe
Pegaso Z-102 Thrill by Touring
Lamborghini 350 GT
Alfa Romeo 2600 SZ

NSU Ro80
Citroen CX
Fiat 130 Coupe
Lancia Flaminia GT
Lancia Flavia Zagato coupe

and most especially the

Lancia Gamma Coupe

Alfa Romeo 2600 SZ

I really like all your suggestions!

Just found this page:
http://www.lancia-historie.de/sondergalerie_schwetzingen.html

We want all of these in detailed 1/64 scale! :p

Volvo 245 Turbo, of course.

Just remembering that some of this cars was already made in 1/64, like:

NSU Ro80, done by Corgi Jr. very hard to find, and not so well done

Citroen CX, the best example is from Majorette, but also done by Guisval, Mira, Norev mini jet, Yatming, Playart and Polfi Toys

Lancia Gamma in sedan version was done in a crude casting by the italian toymake Giodi



Keep the comments sending in this thread, plese, and thanks :thumbsup:

Volvo 245 Turbo, of course.


The Volvo 245 in the 1975-79 generation was done by Majorette and Corgi Jr.


keep your comments here please, and thanks :p

Thanks for the compliment! And thanks for the wonderful link.

I, too, would love to have 1/64 models of all of those Lancias. That Flaminia Berlina and the Aurelia Spiders really caught my eye. Stunning!

Here's a neat Zagato site I found. There are only a few active links, but they are mostly cars I had not seen before.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the info. I have seen pictures of the Corgi Jr. Ro80, but I found it unsatisfactory. The beauty of the Ro80 is so subtle that it would take a very serious approach to model it correctly. I think it is an amazing looking car that is still truly unique and beautiful.

I thought that there might already be some 1/64 CXs in existence; I will look up the ones you've listed. What a great car that was.

I just realized that I have a Polistil Penny version of the Lancia Flavia Zagato Coupe packed away somewhere. I've got to dig it out soon, because my few Penny cars are among my favorite vintage 1/64s.

I would also like to have a 1/64:

1990s TVR Griffith 500
plus the

TVR Chimaera
TVR Cerbera
TVR Tamora

Unfortunately, the Sagaris is a bit too much for me. I'm still trying to like it, so maybe someday...

Has anyone produced the TR8 convertible in 1/64? I couldn't find any pics online. Like many of our controversial American cars, Triumph got the TR8 right in its final year of production, and I'd love to have a nice, accurate miniature of it.

Hi Bluntfront, I find a page where a person show his modified 1/64 diecast cars, and is a pic of a Triumph TR8 convertible, here is the link:

BluntFronts: Cool link with Zagato cars...I don't know many of them either, especially the older ones. Here is the one I have. Alfa SZ, made by Kyosho. It's really a love-or-hate car. I really like it, and it's well done too.

Thanks - those are nice mods. I imagined the little Triumph in yellow as I wrote about it earlier. That one looks very good to me.

LOL - my feelings exactly!

Mmmmmm ..... T.. V.. R .......



(I was lucky enough to see one Griffith when I visited Switzerland in 1996. Rather unattractive gray-green paint, and I could only look at it for about 30 seconds because my family was rushing ahead to some other tourist attraction. Oh well, at least I saw one. Sadly, TVRs are illegal in the US.)

I would say you have very good taste in cars. I do like the front and the rear of the recent Afla SZ, but I'm not really in love with the side design.

However, I would definitely drive & own one, especially because I admire the Zagato approach so highly. I love cars that "dare to be different". Your Kyosho appears to be a fine model that is worth every penny of its price. Great pix, too.

(I still hope to own some Kyoshos someday!)

The Volvo 245 in the 1975-79 generation was done by Majorette and Corgi Jr.

Ah yes, but that's quite a different animal. The 245 Turbo was only offered from 1981 to 1985 (intercooled in late 84 and 85). Just from a visual perspective, it has distinct trim and wheels from the non-Turbo versions.

McLaren F1!

I know that Minichamps did one in 1/64, but they are hard to find.

Thanks. :) I really do like odd and less known cars more and more, especially the ones that were produced in small series and concept cars of course. More or less everyone around me loves BMW-s, Mercedes', Audi-s, but I find them a bit too boring and ordinary... :p

Be sure to get some Kyoshos if you get the chance. I only have 1/64 scale, but they really are improving radically with each series and I can't wait for the next series. Too bad that the prices are quite high but apart from that, they can be really addictive. :D

Great Idea, I've never seen one. I didn't even know that Minichamps made 1/64 cars. Do you know, are there any more in this scale from Minichamps?

I'm not sure what Minichamps has in 1/64. I have a red one in 1/87 because I did not know that there were 1/64 versions. I have a green 1/64 coming in the mail, so I'll try to post pics of both when they arrive.

Robert

I like to see the Ferrari 512BB/LM or a Bentley EXP/8.
I like the LeMans still cars.

Would love to see Tatra, any would be great! :wave:

I completely agree; I would love to buy many 1/64 Tatras!!
