My #1 regret is missing out on the AutoArt McLaren F1. But some more recent ones include the Minichamps Hispano Suiza Xenia, I watched one go on eBay for only $150, all the BINs are over $300 and to order it from the Mullin Museum (where the 1:1 is) is over $600. That's so much for a sealed model, but it would look so good next to my HS21-GTS

An eBay seller offered me the yellow Kyosho Lancia Delta Integrale for $200, it seemed like too much for it then, but I haven't seen it for any cheaper since then.

I've also watched some CMC 250 TR and Maserati 300S go for under $300, felt bad losing each time but I've just gotten the BBR 375 for around there.

Well, 2.5 years after this post, and I now have the Hispano Suiza and the 250 TR, and I was pretty lucky with the prices that I paid for them. But some other recent ones are:

CMC Bugatti Atlantic, Porsche 901, 250 SWB and California, Mercedes SLR Uhlenhaut
AutoArt Jaguar XJS, white NSX Type R, white 356 Cabriolet, white 997 GT3, Miura SV, Alfa Romeo Montreal
Cult Jaguar XK120, Alfa 2600 Touring Spider
Tecnomodel Bizzarrini 5300 GT
Minichamps Bentley Type R (50s) and Continental R (90s)

I did some research when I got my blue Tecnomodel 365P. All of the colors that they made were accurate, at some point. Because there are actually two 1:1 365Ps - the white one, with no rear wing, is the one that the Agnelli family tours around the US. But there's actually a mysterious second one, with a chrome rear wing, and it has been repainted several times (blue, silver, red) Which is exactly how Tecnomodel made them.

There was an Autoart McLaren F1 LM in the DX Classifieds a few months ago for $350, more than msrp obviously, but I would jump on it now. But then again, that was around the same time that I finally found another holy grail for much cheaper, the white Autoart 1992 NSX Type R, which I had long given up on. So it might have been one or the other.

I'll keep regretting not replacing my old UT F1 with the Autoart until if LCD finally releases theirs. But apparently it's been over a year since there was any update on that 🤷‍♂️

I could list dozens of models, I've been collecting for over 16 years, and most of that was on a way tighter budget than more recently. 3 more that really stand out: Autoart Miura, Countach LP400, and Countach 25th Anniversary. They were all in my shopping cart on DMW at one point 🤦‍♂️
