Just seen today, IXO have announced some new releases, one of the ranges is 1ST which comprises East European treasures. Today, I have discovered they are releasing a model of.....the....Dacia 1310 / Denem.

[brammy777]

Just bought this:

Trying to expand into other manufacturers.

[55bloke]

Not surprisingly, I have that too. The Norev one is better, though it's a phase 2.

[brammy777]

Bare in mind they are all pre production, so they will look distorted and lumpy, its just to show people whats coming.

[Mr Lobster]

MEGA!! Although still no sign of the lot from the catalogue before those!

 

I'll have a Cossie & a Cortina for sure!

 

Legacy seems an odd choice to me..

 

Back end of the Golf looks very strange!

[brammy777]

Yeh the golfs rear looks a tad odd, but hopefully theyll sort that.The legacy is to do with Colin Mcrae, he drove one when he first joined the Subaru world rally team.Hey 55bloke, was your model 25 an Altaya? Because mines full blown IXO i think......

[MrRegieRitmo]

Hey 55bloke, was your model 25 an Altaya? Because mines full blown IXO i think......

yes the blue edition is the Altaya partwork release, the dark red the proper IXO retail release. They've done the same with the Peugeot 505 (Altaya = white, IXO = grey) Citroen AX (Altaya = red or blue, IXO = white) Renault 9 (Altaya = dk blue, IXO = gold) and probably some others too

Hmmm... not 100% sure! I thought it was IXO, and it sure looks like the same model, just a different colour.

It will be the same model. IXO use the Altaya brand name for the stuff that goes in part work collections and so on. They are exactly the same model apart from colour. The expensive version is IXO branded and comes in a nice box, the cheaper / partwork version is Altaya branded and only in plastic case.

No problem, thanks!We'll also have both versions of Mk4 Cortina if you haven't already ordered it - confirmed our order with Corgi for quite a lot of them last night

(Sorry for the crap pics, Mrs Ash also bought me an incredibly complex camera that I am yet to get to grips with)

 

 

 

Chuffed, one of my favourite drivers of evah, local lad made good. And he got to shag Pamela Anderson. Hope he was wearing his helmet on that occasion or he'd have permanent black eyes!

When was the last time you saw a Astramax

[VWPowered]

[brammy777]

Hey VWP, I have a model astramax. Paid a fair bit for it, but they dont come up too often. I think its an AHC Pilen model, Id like to see what else they made.

[VWPowered]
