Heres a custom that isn't made that often (a Canadian made this one.... very lucky to find it and buy it before anyone else on ebay) Obviously from the movie Joe Dirt.

the models aren't unique, but I added a little touch of personalisation.
all of them came plain red from the box, so I've ordered (or designed myself) the decals. all cars are 1/24.
as far as I know, bburago's 250 LM was never sold as '65 Rindt/Gregory Le Mans car.
nor was jouef's 330 P4 sold as '67 Amon/Bandini car from Daytona
250 SWB was originaly road car, but I've removed the bumpers and added Trintignant/Abate decals from '61 Le Mans

I have a thing for oddball 90's supercars, as in the non-Ferrari/Lambo/etc kind (although I do love the more mainstream supercars). I also like models of trucks, both normal and commercial. Here are a few examples of some of the oddball stuff that I honestly never thought would get made in 1/18:
Spark Yamaha OX99-11:
Spark Dauer Porsche 962LM Road Car:
Cult Jaguar XJR-15:
FrontiArt Cizeta V16T:
Top Marques Lotus Elise GT1 Road Car:
CMF Isdera Commendatore 112i:
TSM Lotus 56B:
Top Marques Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT:
NZG Mercedes-Benz Actros with trailer:

I was able to get one, so this is the most unique livery I have.
More nerdy news.
One of the drivers on big ears is Fred Gibson, the man behind the Nissan race team of the 1980's.

My most unique cars would be my daily drivers.
My current car, a Honda City 1.5L , model by Paudi which is based on the Chinese version and hence a LHD opposed to the RHD in India. Mine is a white car though of 2011 vintage.

And our family car from 2002 to 2012, a Fiat Siena 1.6 in a similar color but leaning towards champagne gold. Model again by Paudi.

Nice stuff! It's really gratifying to find car models that match our daily drivers. I wish I could find some that match the daily drivers that I've had over the years, but I haven't had any luck.

The running joke with my collector pals is that I buy the scale model first and only then the matching 1:1. Infact for my next car I will actually have to do that as the 1/18 models of our everyday local cars are hardly made and if done, hard to find on sale.Nice stuff!

I would do that, but then I would end up with a bunch of Prii.Nice stuff! It's really gratifying to find car models that match our daily drivers. I wish I could find some that match the daily drivers that I've had over the years, but I haven't had any luck.

I have that race Hillman IMP and would love to see it in 1/18th scale.
But I think the chances are 0 to the power of 10.....
