I always show such pics when someone tells me I have too many models. Laughing

Superb photos and what a collection - well done guys cheers

. I especially loved the Skoda collection - the van and transporter are "wants" along with the 130LR's. They are becoming increasingly difficult to find - if anyone wants to part with any I will only be too happy to help lol!

You are right Donie there is no cure - I am supposedly downsizing but still find I have nearly as many "wants" ! lol!

In and amongst the many Monte lovelies did I see a red and white MG 1100 by Vitesse? Is that a Code 3 or a Vitesse release? I haven't seen it before and being an MG.... I'm very interested!

Thanks again, guys. I'm humbled at the work in putting all those models out (and back again!), let alone collecting that number of models! I'll have to show my better half! She thinks I've got problems with my collection! She ain't seen nothing yet!

Most of the 64 Monte collection are one offs - the MG was redone from a colour Pathe news report and from help I got from Peter Scott. Incidentally the same goes for the Green MG1100 and the Rover.
