A new garage
At last, yesterday saw the arrival of my new multi story car park for most of my small fleet of cars. These two display units turned into a little bit of a saga and took forever to arrive. You sometimes have to take your chances with e-bay purchases. They are the second replacements for the first ones which apparently got damaged by floods in the factory. The second lot were lost by the courier company, so these two cabinets are a case of third time lucky! Not quite the quality I expected, as the thin shelves are sagging a little already (update - problem has since been solved) despite being specifically designed just for heavy 1/18th scale die-cast cars, but they do the intended job by displaying the cars nicely, and the slide down clear acrylic covers keep them clean and dust free. Much better than the open shelving I was using. This is not quite the whole fleet, and it seems to grow every few weeks (when I get permission to spend the piggy bank funds)!
Lots of my favourites in this display - I can't really single one out, but if pressed, it is probably a tie between the E-type Jag (in British Racing Green) and the gold Chevy Corvette. Ooh, but then there's the two Cobras, and all the Ferraris, and the Aston Martins too......
