The Hart to Hart version would be a nice addition since it is a US specced version with extended bumpers and twin round headlights but I think Norev has done that in the past.. but just can't remember the colour.

And here’s the Hart to Hart version:

I heard a rumour that there were going to be two wooden figurines supplied with the model, but wood has become too valuable......

I might be picking the Norev Gullwing over the Schuco, they both look good, but the Norev will be cheaper. And I definitely love their 190 SL.
The XJS Cabrio and maybe the coupe too are both must haves for me, even if the windshield trim is wrong... for me, Norev is still edging out the competition by picking better colors, better wheels, and at a better price. I recently saw that Kyosho is making the Austin Healey 3000 as well, but I'll still rather have the Norev for its teal color and chrome rims.

 

[samx5]

I agree with you on the Healey, that green one looks good with the steel wheels. I only have one Norev model so far but I'm impressed with the finish for the price, better than the Solido models I've seen.

Is it just me, or has Norev run into some massive delays? I remember getting super hyped by the announcements of the Alfa Giulietta's and the NA miata, but that's been almost a year now, if not longer? With the Miata originally being set for an october/november '21 release, it's making me think the worst...

Good question. I’m not sure what to read into it. It could be last minute licensing hurdles maybe. I’m itching for Norev’s 308 GTS and its yellow R107 Merc SL, and while there are a few pics, the release dates have been moving targets for yonks. Wait and see, I guess.

 

[slartibartfast229]

I would guess it's simply a matter of priorities.
Translation - too many projects and too few hours in the day.
(And too many obscure French choices!)

 

[Craig]

Yeah they seem to have slowed down a lot! I still want their Renault Assistance Course Estafette van in Orange! It's only a repaint, but it hasn't come out yet I love me some French stuff!

 

[crz]

My dealer said that there wasn't enough new stuff from Norev to ship in May. Combined with the irregular containerships Norev decided to ship a whole bunch of stuff at the start of June. For example the AMG GT.

Hopefully including the Alfa GTAm and the Lancia Fulvia.
And perhaps a 'Heckflosse' Mercedes W111 saloon.

what... they made the W111 Heckflosse too??? If so i must have missed the announcement. That is one model which needs a modern Norev treatment. The Revell one is looking pretty crude now...

 

[slartibartfast229]

Actually I was hoping for a version with the stacked headlights.
I will probably buy one to add to my increasing collection anyway.
Supposed to be November at the earliest....

The photo looks a lot like the smaller brother W110 but I have troubles telling them apart sometimes. Does W111 saloon ever comes with round headlights as I always thought they always have the stacked headlights.

 

[Scuddy]

Interesting. No sign of the Magnum one yet but this is nice.

I really hope Norev spotted the incorrectly placed Ferrari badge on the engine cover...

 

[Craig]

I'm not feeling the tyres, which is typical Norev really. They look like they came off of a truck. Don't get me wrong, I do like them as a maker, but sometimes the monster truck looking tyres gets boring.

 

[Scuddy]

The blue and Magnum versions have side marker lights, but the red car looks like it has US bumpers, the blue car euro bumpers.

This 1:18 scale diecast model of the 1982 Ferrari 308 GTS driven by Thomas Magnum in the original Magnum P.I TV series is made by Norev. It measures approximately 23.5 cm in length.

The Hart to Hart SL is out. Looks like the engine is the V8 and the box is an auto, so Norev has upgraded it from the 300SL. The colour looks brash now but it was very 70s. I like it!

You have to buy a wooden base for this, if you get one......
