Ferrari's by Majorette

2 Deluxe models by Majorette. In the late 80's Majorette released a series of plastic 1/64 scale detailed super cars. The use of plastic is easier to allow detailing, and avoids the use of paint which can cover up casting details. They are unsatisfyingly light but compared to the Matchbox detailed models of the same period they're more realistic by far. I also have a Countach, Jaguar XJS and Porsche 911 in the same series - I'll track down the last model, which is a Rolls Royce Corniche, when I see one for a sensible price. They were marketed as models, and would have cost about 3 times more than the ordinary Majorette models but do have an excellent level of detail. Both models have opening side doors and engine lids and rubber tyres.
