Cool car/model and the box in impressive. Congrats.

Me three. :)

That is a beautifully crafted automobile with face of an Italian and American v8 as the heart. You don't see this car often anywhere else in the world and this feature video on Petrolicious really sums it up well


The presentation box of the model looks quite impressive and the booklet is a nice touch. This is a 1/43 scale right? For a moment I thought i was looking at 1/18 resin.

Yes, I think Minichamps has only done it in 1:43. There is a 1:18 facelifted version of the 7 Litri done by BOS which is pretty good for $100, and technomodel is coming out with a 1:18 version of the original (very much like this one)

The 'Griff' has long been an all time favourite of mine Batman - thanks for sharing yours

And I used to have the Matchbox too - though mine was not the Superfast version...I had to oil the wheels to keep up with my school-yard playmates!

What a trip down memory lane!

My first Grifo was the regular wheels Matchbox, same as yours. I wish I still had it. When the Superfasts came out, I bought those versions of the regular wheels I already had with leftover lunch money. Bought one each week for 50 cents!
