Hi...i am a collector from Greece...i have as a goal to collect all the le mans winners from 1923 onwards...tough one but i will try !!!
I have sold my old collection which consisted of aproximately 40 1:18 racing cars and now i started collecting the Le Mans winners in 1:18 scale.
I have a goal of collecting them all or at least whatever is available since a lot of them have never been produced in 1:18 scale, in 10 years from now, so i decided to join the community to have someone to talk about my hobby.

Hi. That sounds like a good idea for a collection. I am doing the same but in 1:43

I considered doing it in 1:43 since it is way easier to find all the models but my love for 1:18 took over…I am sure my bank account won’t really like that but anyway…how many have you collected so far ?

9 because I only started a few weeks ago.

I also prefer 1:18 and have lots of models that are that size but I have not got the money for all 1:18 le mans cars

Welcome to the forum! You definitely need to check out this thread: Complete (post war) Le Mans outright winners in 1/18 -...

It will be a great achievement if you can manage it, and some of the gaps that Mizen was filling with custom models are now being filled in by model manufacturers; Spark have recently released the 1981 winner. Good luck!

Thanks a lot !!! Mizen’s collection is absolutely amazing !!! I hope I can get at this level at some point !!! I just hope that manufacturers will make more of the pre-war winners
