1/18 Scale Diecast Cars

Classic Carlectables Ford XA Falcon RPO83 Coupe Wild Plum 1/18 Scale Diecast.

Early in 1972 Ford released the XA GT Falcon in sedan and hardtop versions. It was the first Falcon to be totally designed by Australians, as production of the Falcon in the US had ceased some 18 months earlier. The XA was the biggest Falcon yet, with the boldest styling, designed for wider appeal with its less aggressive look and creature comforts.
Ford built 891 hardtops between July 1972 and September 1973, including the construction of 129 RPO83 coupes. The GT Specials - that's their official title - were Regular Production Option 83 on Ford's options list for Falcon GTs.
The biggest change on the RPO83 to the normal GT was the fitting of a huge 780cfm (cubic feet per minute) four barrel Holley carburettor and (hidden away under the V-banks) fabricated exhaust extractors. These added 30-40bhp to the existing 300bhp for much improved performance. Other changes included a modified sump with additional baffles and a manual choke. They used most of the bolt-on engine components intended for the Phase IV GT-HO - the 'Supercar' killed by political and public pressure before it went into production in 1972. The new model could run the quarter in the high 14s and had a top speed of around 140mph (225kph).

The comprehensive front end features engraved headlights and indicators, as well as the finely moulded front grille with GT badge.

Bathurst Globe alloy rims are an outstanding feature on this model together with the red wall tyres.

Classic Carlectables Holden FC Special Cambridge Blue over Teal Blue 1/18 Scale Diecast.

The Holden FC was a great achievement for Holden, introduced on the 6th of May 1958. The model was extremely popular, at its peak the model had over 50% of the market share. In the production of the FC it was the first time Holden had produced more than 100,000 units in a year. Holden created a major millstone with the FC when on October 22nd 1958 it became the 500,000 Holden produced. The Managing Director Earl C Daum presented the car (a Station Sedan) to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

As with previous Holden models, the FC was a revised version of previous model. The revision of a model half way through its life helped maintain interest and sales. The FC was an improved version of the FE.

The most notable upgrades were to the external body, with chrome trim now dominating the side of the car. The front grille was much bolder with the front indicators now incorporated into the front bumper, chrome tail fins were also a new addition to the rear of the car. The interior also had a make over with new door liner and seat trim. The steering wheel featured a half ring horn to give greater visibility of the instruments which also had an upgrade, with a shroud around the dials to reduce reflections.
After a production run of 191,724 vehicles, in January 1960 the FC was replaced by an all new model the Holden FB.

Classic Carlectables Holden VS Commodore 1997 Bathurst Winner 25th Anniversary Silver Livery 1/18 Scale Diecast

The 1997 Primus Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar race was a classic, particularly given the emotion surrounding the first of Peter Brock's numerous retirements and the record crowd cramming onto Mount Panorama to farewell him. But through it all, Larry Perkins and his team-mate Russell Ingall in their Holden VS Commodore, had out-raced all opposition to clinch the Castrol Team's third Bathurst 1000 win,
in its last five starts.

Larry Perkins crossed the line in 6 hours, 21 minutes and 55 seconds, to take his sixth victory on the Mountain. The 1997 Race would be Russell Ingall's second victory at Mount Panorama and second with Perkins. The first in 1995 in a Holden VR Commodore.

Steven and Jim Richards were a deserved second place, 1 1 seconds behind Perkins and Ingall. Third place on the podium was Mark Larkham and Andrew Miedecke. In front of one of the largest crowds ever at Mount Panorama and the largest field of V8s to run at the Mountain (43 cars), Perkins and Ingall had captured the Primus 1000 Classic as their rivals fell by the wayside. They had repeated their 1995 winning partnership and cemented the Castrol Holden Commodore's place in the history books.

Classic Carlectables are proud to present a special Silver Livery Edition of the Holden VS Commodore to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of its 1997 Bathurst victory.



Item includes certificate and production number plate, mounted to the chassis.

1:18 Scale Ford Mustang GT - DNA of Mustang Celebration Livery - Designed by Tristan Groves

Limited Edition Number: 240

Product Specifications: Die-cast model car with detailed interior and opening parts. Includes numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Tristan Groves.

About This Product:

In 2019, the Ford Mustang GT made its return to racing in the Supercars Championship and its success was immediate.

After winning on debut at the Adelaide 500, the Mustang went on to race for four full time seasons by some of the biggest teams in the sport including Shell V-Power Racing Team and Tickford Racing who enjoyed the most success with the make.

From 2019 to 2022 the Mustang took the challenge right up to rival Holden teams, and in many cases, eclipsed them, winning 54 races, 181 podiums, 82 pole positions, 2 drivers championships and taking out the biggest race of all, the Bathurst 1000 in 2019. Star drivers to win races in the Mustang during that time included the dominant Scott McLaughlin who led the Mustang charge along with Cam Waters, Fabian Coulthard, Will Davison, Anton De Pasquale, Chaz Mostert, Jack Le Brocq and Alexandre Premat.

Authentic Collectables are proud to present this special collectable scale model, the DNA of Mustang Celebration Livery celebrates the racing achievements for the Mustang in the premier category of Australian motorsport, featuring a livery on this edition by renowned designer/illustrator Tristan Groves.

"When you think of Mustang the iconic pony badge and graphic imagery instantly comes to mind, so it makes total sense for the design of this celebration livery to be largely centred around a stylised pony which looks fast and aggressive" said Groves.

"That combined with the colour scheme, Ford / Ford Performance logos, the statistics and years on the roof with the winning drivers list on the boot make this a really special edition celebrating the Mustang in Supercars from 2019 to 2022, one I hope Ford Mustang fans will love adding to their collections".

The livery speaks for itself and as an added little nod to the storied history of the Mustang, we have decided to model the car using the originally approved for racing rear wing design featuring the larger end plates which was eventually updated later in 2019 and into 2020 due to category parity concerns.

Ford fans, this model shouldn't be missed.

This 1:18 scale model has been produced in high quality die-cast with detailed interior and fully opening parts in a limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the livery designer, Tristan Groves.

Product Description: 1:18 Scale Holden VE Commodore SS V - Red Hot

Limited Edition Number: 864

Product Specifications: Die-cast model car with detailed interior and fully opening parts

About This Product:

Dubbed the 'Billion Dollar Baby' when it was first launched in 2006, the Holden VE Commodore was an executive car that arguably represented Holden in Australia at the absolute peak of its powers.

Development on the new Commodore began in 1999 and over the course of 7 years of design, engineering and testing, over 1 billion Australian Dollars was spent to make it the largest and most expensive Holden ever developed.

Couple that expenditure with the 3.4 million kilometres of testing carried out on the project, the new VE was an Australian designed and developed model that would not only replace the popular outgoing VZ Commodore series for the brand, but go on to win much acclaim world wide and sell over half a million units in its various forms both domestically and internationally during a lifespan ranging from 2006 to 2013.

The VE was not only a winner on the road but on the track too. The foundations of the VE helped Holden motorsport claim 103 V8 Supercar race wins, including multiple Bathurst 1000 victories and series championships to have the model sitting in 2nd place on the all time winning model list behind its eventual VF Commodore replacement.

This is a car that was not only beautifully designed, but commands a tremendous amount of respect and will in time, likely be viewed as an iconic piece of Australian motoring history, especially now the Holden brand has sadly been retired.

Authentic Collectables are very proud to present the high end sports variant of the VE Commodore, the SS V-Series in Red Hot in model form for the first time. It's been produced in 1:18 scale die-cast with fully opening parts and high detail in an exclusive limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

D'Alberto expressed a mixture of relief and pride after the championship deciding race; 'It has been a big journey for myself, Honda and Wall Racing, I had to convince Honda to get involved back in 2019 and I am just so proud and thankful we have delivered a championship for them.'

1:18 Scale Stan Sport Wall Racing #24 Honda Civic Type R TCR - 2022 Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Phillip Island Race 2 & 3 Winner - Driver: Fabian Coulthard

Limited Edition Number: 244

Product Specifications: Sealed body resin with clear windows and detailed interior

About This Product:

The Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series is the domestic variant of the hugely successful Touring Car Racing formula adopted in more than 30 countries and regions worldwide, including the FIA WTCR World Touring Car Cup.

2022 was a year of big change for multiple Supercars Championship race winner Fabian Coulthard after unfortunately losing his Supercar seat due to the sale of Team Sydney to PremiAir Racing. It wasn't long before he was snapped up by Walkinshaw Andretti Untied as a co-driver to partner Chaz Mostert at the Bathurst 1000 (where they ultimately finished 2nd) but that still left the popular Kiwi with plenty of spare time to fill.

TCR proved to be one of the answers for Coulthard in 2022 where he split his time across racing at some specific events in the striking blue #24 Stan Sport Wall Racing #24 Honda Civic Type R TCR and even lending his skills to the commentary team for the series across the year.

Round two at Phillip Island was a breakthrough weekend for Coulthard, achieving his best qualifying result before scoring a dream Sunday result, taking both race wins and holding off inaugural TCR Australia champion Will Brown in a thrilling Sunday finale.

This model will be based on Coulthard's winning Phillip Island round and is part of the first TCR cars to be produced by Authentic Collectables. We're once again, very proud to be delivering a new style of model and added variety for Australian racing fans and collectors.

This release has been produced in sealed body format with clear windows and detailed interior in a limited edition with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Biante Model Cars and Apex Replicas are very pleased to present the 1:18 Scale Holden Special Vehicles Gen-F Senator Signature in Nitrate.

Any Australian motoring enthusiast would be familiar with the HSV nameplate. Established in 1987, the official performance arm of Holden has been producing wild, spine-tingling variants of Holden's road cars for almost 30 years now. The Senator nameplate began in the VP in 1992 and combined luxury and performance and that sport sophistication was taken to another level with the Senator Signature range.

The Gen-F HSV range was introduced by HSV in 2013 after the launch of the new Holden VF Commodore. It brought in a more subtle level of styling compared to the more visually aggressive outgoing E3 models. The Senator Signaure features massive 20' forged alloy wheels in Dark Stainless and Gen 3 Magnetic Ride Control, while the sleek exterior was hiding a race bred LS3 Gen IV 6.2L V8 engine that would take your breath away with 340kW of power and 570Nm of torque!

The 1:18 Scale replica of this model is an exceptional collector's piece. Produced in sealed body resin the first thing you notice upon inspection is its significant quality of craftsmanship. The sculptured body lines are beautifully replicated on this model given the way it has been produced with the door gaps and joins between the panels looking as realistic as possible. The model includes a number of very nice features including the Senator and HSV badge work, metal etched grille in the front bumper assembly along with the chrome accented fender vents, and the upgraded HSV brakes are presented extremely well.

Despite being a sealed body model, no shortcuts have been taken with replicating the HSV Onyx leather interior of this model. Upon looking through the clear windows you can see a very high attention to detail right down to the dashboard instrumentation and HSV details. Last but not least, the Nitrate Silver colour scheme simply looks phenomenal and finishes the model superbly well.

The 1:18 Scale Gen-F Senator is a must have model for Holden and HSV fans alike. It will be produced in a limited-edition number and will come with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Biante Model Cars and Apex Replicas are very pleased to present the 1:18 Scale Holden Special Vehicles W427 in Heron.

Any Australian motoring enthusiast would be familiar with the HSV nameplate. Established in 1987, the official performance arm of Holden has been producing wild, spine-tingling variants of Holden road cars for almost 30 years now. Perhaps one of the most brutal and stand out HSV's ever built though would be the incredible W427.

Unveiled by HSV at 2008 Melbourne Motor Show, after months of media and public speculation, the W427 generated an unprecedented amount of hype and excitement from the motoring public. With the 'W' proudly standing for racing legend and performance God, Tom Walkinshaw. Boasting the largest capacity engine ever built in an Australian production car, it quickly garnered everyone's attention. The massive dry-sumped 7.0 litre LS7 equalled to 427 cubic inches in the old scale and pushed out an eye watering 375kw (500 hp) and a back-straightening 640 Nm of torque! This supercar heart was enough to propel the hefty 1874 kg brute to a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 4.7 seconds, and a quarter mile of 13 seconds. At the time it was pure supercar territory numbers and left a lasting impact.

It wasn't only the engine that was impressive however. To pull up that warp speed the W427 also required an impressive set of brakes and HSV didn't skimp going with monster 380mm front discs and 6 piston calipers providing an extra 50% contact over the already impressive GTS front brakes and just as big 350mm rear discs. Revised Magnetic Ride Control, HSV 6-speed Tremec TR6060 manual transmission, high-strength LSD and 20' machined -faced alloy wheels in Billet Silver finished off the underpinnings of this world class supercar.

Although the performance aspects of the car were unrivalled, the W427 also offered a fantastic array of driver comforts and an interior that was as standout as the car's performance. A unique W427 branded red leather interior combined with all the modern amenities that HSV could possibly fit in 2008. A multi-function steering wheel, Bluetooth, optional sat nav, climate control, cruise control, rear park-assist, automatic headlamps, comprehensive trip computer, and top of the range sound system just to name a few.

A truly unique vehicle in every way ' the W427 was hand assembled at HSV's production facility in Clayton, Victoria and all of this didn't come cheap though. A retail price of $155,000 meant demand for the car was low and the intended build of 427 cars was reduced significantly to only 136, making it an instantly highly sort after classic and one of the rarest HSV's ever made!

The 1:18 Scale replica of this model is an exceptional collector's piece. First thing you notice upon inspection is its significant quality of craftsmanship. The sculptured body lines are beautifully replicated on this model given the way it has been produced with the door gaps and joins between the panels looking as realistic as possible. The model includes a number of very nice features including the W427 badge work, menacing front facia assembly along with the carbon fibre rear spoiler are presented extremely well.

No shortcuts have been taken with replicating the Red Hot leather interior of this model. Upon looking through the clear windows you can see a very high attention to detail right down to the dashboard instrumentation and W427 details. Last but not least, the Heron White colour scheme simply looks phenomenal and finishes the model superbly well.

The 1:18 Scale Gen-F W427 is a must have model for Holden and HSV fans alike. It will be produced in a limited-edition number and will come with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
