BACK: IXO (China) diecast, 2008

Old stuff??? Older the better!
No one does sex-on-wheels like the Italians...those are gorgeous!!!!

Unreal !!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

WOW!!!! Now that is hertiage! What wonderful castings, thanks for the pics.

Some interesting differences between the two. Apart from the yellow, which given a lack of colour photographic evidence, is perhaps understandable. Have a look at the positioning of the headlights on the two models, also the curvature of the tails seems different. Very noticeable here also is the names on the tail of the ixo which do not appear on the Starter.

Nice looking models.

I don't collect older cars unless they fit one of my collecting categories: either Monte Carlo Rally participants or TV/movie cars.

Two beauties.

Drop dead gorgeous!

There is scant and precious little of this vintage in 1/64. I would love to see the Mormon Meteor done in diecast of any scale.
