View Full Version : Iso Griffo sschevyman1 10-05-2008, 12:28 AM http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w356/yenkochev/DSC08264.jpg Thomas Hint 10-05-2008, 11:09 AM Hey sschevyman, where are the lamp posts and top half of the dude pumping gas? drummingbulldog 10-07-2008, 08:37 AM The Iso Griffo is one of my all time fav Superfast MB cars. My brother had the same car in a Corgi Whizzwheels and it too was cool. I always thought this looked like a James Bond car.

I always thought this looked like a James Bond car. But those were the days when James Bond only drove British cars:wave: The Corgi Iso was well made but the medium denim blue colour was not very inspired -oddly enough this was almost the only new release Corgi that year not issued in a choice of 2 different colours.Lesney did a superb job capturing the curves of this car and also gave us a choice of 4 major shades of blue -this makes my top 6 favourite Lesneys of all time list Here is an Italian made Iso from my collection http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/SMS369/toys/2008-Feb192.jpg sschevyman1 11-16-2008, 12:17 AM This car was powered by the Chevy Corvette 327 and tranny and rear end. Lummox 11-16-2008, 10:50 PM The last coupla years of the Iso Griffo you could get it with a 427 big block!!! Because of Lesney I've always been intrigued by these cars...good thread! Mick, I absolutely LOVE that one!!!! What brand? 1/43rd? And I can't quite tell what the silver car is. Some sort of Pininfarina bodied Ferrari?

Yo Lummox :wave: the silver wreck in the background is a Bertone bodied Ford Mustang Here are my 1/43 Iso Griffos with an original box -only the doors open, Corgi did opening hood and detailed engine too but these italian paint jobs look nicer http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/SMS369/sms88/2008-Nov050.jpg And here are most of my Lesney variations visiting the Dino dealership, far from a complete lineup,and the colour was always some shade of blue although red colour trials exist in the metal and on boxes and catalog artwork - the paint shades dont show up very well under flash but the Lotus is a substitute for the late issue rw and early issue SF which came in the very same light metallic blue shade http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/SMS369/sms88/2008-Nov052.jpg vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
