My diecast collection - 700+ cars
 

I thought i'd share some pic's of my diecast car collection.
My Dad and i have been collecting for about 15 years. I started the collection off when i was about 13 with a couple of ferrari's and lambo's as you do at that age, then my dad got involved and it quickly got out of hand.
We recently got most of them together so i took some pic's.
As you can see there is a wide variety of cars and some very rare.

That's bloody awesome !!

Awesome collection :thumb:

:eek: stunning mate love the yellow classic :) hate to think what its cost

thats awsome,
they must take some dusting.

Tidy, looks like a toy shop:thumb:

Awesome...

Very nice mate :thumb:

I did a simaler thing for 15 years but my addiction was rare vinyl, lol

Some impressive hoarding there.

Superb, what's your favourite?

now that's just showing off!! :notworthy

I have a friend who has a great collection and his "thing" is porsches - he has hundreds of porsches - some of them are worth 4 figures

but his collection comes nowhere near that

his are all in custom made glass cabinets though - saves on dusting :lol1:

gob smacked

very impressive.
I have 35...subaru..mk2 escort..bmw e30 all 1.43 scale.
I set myself a £100 limit on any car.
I would however go over this if i could find a Phil Collins mk2 escort

Wow mate that is really impressive. I've ways had a soft spot for diecast cars (as any young lad probably did) and started off buying a few with my pocket money at the time. Unfortunately growing up I ran out of money (spending it on drinking, women and cars) and also space (going to uni, buying a flat etc) but I'd love to get my boy into and hopefully have a collection as big as you and your fathers!

My hats off to you sir:notworthy

Love to spend a day looking round your loft! Great collection there matey

You must get invited to the Model Zone Christmas party for your contributions!

bloody impressive!!

That's amazing do these have to be insured seperate to your'e house insurance.

Great Collection

Awesome have u got the original initial d ae86 sprinter tho?? Lol

Marvellous collection, biggest by far I've seen.

Brilliant collection, i started a collection of schumacher ferrari F1 cars. At one point had about 60 in total but have tamed that down to about 20 now.

Have a few rare ones, the rarest being the 2001 f1 car from the Monza GP after 9/11 which had no livery and a black nose with only 800 something models made.

What scale is the ayrton senna JPS car 1/12?

your lack of American classics is disturbing! :)

At first I started thinking it was a bit sad....then I saw the classic Fords. Never seen model Capris and Cossies etc. Cool as!

now that is a man room and a half :thumb: wow

Awesome. My dad has a similar amount but including model buses, agricultural macines ect. How do you remember what you've bought?:lol1:

Wow:notworthy. Great collection. :cool: Steve.

What a lovely collection that is, i just hope you have a room full of boxes as well. ;)

That's amazing and you most loving showing that room off to people. If you don't mind me asking, could you have a rough guess of how much you've spent on the collection? :idea:

brilliant! thats some dedication:cool:
