VW Watercooled Model Cars

I thought i might show you guys my model car collection. Now i know there not VW's but since Porsche now owns almost 30%(controlling interest) of VW it could be a fitting time.

Its taken me around 12 years to collect all these models. Nearly all are 1:43 scale and made by Minichamps. Most of the cars are from limited edition sets from Porsche themself. I've got no idea how many there is but if you want count them from the photos please let me know. I've run out of space and am currently trying to find a matching cabinet.

Recently i have just started collecting Minichamps Ducati Motorcycles. There is one also signed by Troy Bayliss along with scaled down Replica helmet.

Oh yeah if your wondering that is a Porsche 996 Turbo wheel sitting next to the cabinet.

Nah Dom. There my brothers collection.

I used to collect & make Ferarri models but they have been stored away for a very long time now. There been estimated at more than a few gorilla's due to the rarity of some of them.

Here are those badges Dom. Brought new from VW Motorsport around 15 years ago.
