Great models, except that the rear window on the Iso has no been stuck down properly - a little bit of glue will sort that, when I buy some. The models are made of resin & very well detailed, inside & out.

Both used American V8s - the Iso a Chevy unit, whilst the Monteverdi had a Chrysler engine.

Very nice. I would like a Monteverdi model; I have none (though do have several Isos).

I am quite sure I have never seen a Monteverdi model but I did see a 1:1 scale real one on the streets of my then neighborhood in Denver in 1974.

The Monteverdi looks similar to a Jensen Interceptor up front.

Thanks - Neo are making several Monteverdis, they've already released the Safari (an SUV similar to a Range Rover or Mercedes G-wagen) & a Hai is to follow. Matchbox made a Hai in the '70s - other than this, I can't think of any other model Monteverdis either.

Hi Steve

Dinky Toys did the 375L in the late '60's and the Hai was done in 1:43rd scale by Auto Pilen.

BTW impressive images!

Cheers Chris
