Welcome to my F1 Diecast Model Collection
Welcome to my Diecast Model Collection, I trust you find it as interesting as I do. There are over 400 models in my F1 Collection and they are all on this website. I have been a fan of Formula 1 since the mid 70’s, when a John Player Special was a racing car and not just a cigarette brand. In addition, Martini Brabham’s were screaming around the streets of Monte-Carlo and the “Anytime, Any Place, Any Where” TV Ad’s were common place.
As a result this ignited my early interest in design and branding along with building my Diecast Model Collection.

The Collection
Being a Designer and Photographer, I recently set to and photographed all of my Diecast Model Collection and this Catalogue Website is the result. You can use the links on the right-hand side or menu across the top to see the cars. You can search by: Driver, Teams, Years, Brands and World Champions. There are still several additions to be made which will be added over time.
Hope you enjoy looking at my Diecast Model Collection, feel free to make any Comments and add a Review to the Individual Cars.

Minichamps
The Olivier Panis Ligier JS43, Monaco 1996 Grand Prix Winner was the first Minichamps car for my Diecast Model Collection.
Model Car Group
These models are fantastic quality at an affordable price, here is the Alain Prost McLaren MP4/2B from 1985, in which he won his 1st F1 World Championship.
Up until the launch of the Formula 1 Car Collection in 2016, all of my old cars had been packed away. Looking at the list of proposed cars i the Formula 1 Car Collection, my interest was re-ignited and I started to look and see what else was available. In addition to the well-known Minichamps models, I had never heard of Spark Models before and in no time at all my collection was growing rapidly.
The latest Spark addition to my Collection is the Gulf liveried McLaren MCL35M from the Monaco Grand Prix 2021 – Beautiful

Top 5 F1 Most Viewed Cars on this Website:
No:1
Jack Brabham – Brabham BT19
Winning his 3rd World Championship in 1966, Jack Brabham became the first and to this day, only driver to win the F1 World Championship in a car baring his own name. But for some reliability issues he would have also won in 1967, the Championship going to team mate Denis Hulme.
It’s very interesting looking at the listing of most viewed cars. The Brabham BT19 especially one with the driver figure is a very sought after model, Spark making a version, which may be re-released at some time. Here is the link to the complete Top 30
F1CC Tobacco Decals

Tobacco Decals
The regulations concerning Tobacco Advertising prevent a lot of model cars from displaying the original liveries. Some of the Early Onyx and Minichamps cars have the correct decals but these days there are just gaps were the branding appeared. With most Spark models, a separate sheet of decals is supplied with the model where appropriate.
Specialising in missing decals and driver conversions for F1CC models. Grand Prix Decals have made a set for the majority of the cars. For further details you can find them at www.facebook.com/GrandPrixDecals/ The eBay Shop is: www.ebay.co.uk/str/grandprixdecals

The Best places to buy from: in my opinion!
DHMI Motorsport
I first came across DMHI at an NEC Toy Fair and then again at the Sandown Park event. Helen has an extensive stock of Minichamps and Spark Models and her display at the shows is excellent. You’ll find the website at www.dhmi.co.uk/ and the eBay Store at www.ebay.co.uk/usr/dhmi
Well worth a look, new cars are being added all the time.
P&P Racing
Phil at P&P Racing was a recommendation from Spark Germany. I was after a Ligier JS17 for my F1 Diecast Model Collection and although he didn’t have that one I have purchased a number of models from them since. P&P attend the BP Toy Fairs at the NEC, Doncaster & Staffordshire. They also have a stunning display of Spark and Minichamps, the eBay shop is here.
A very helpful chap, well worth contacting or visiting his stand if you’re after something rare for your F1 Diecast Model Collection.
Formula Model Shop
Gavin at Formula Model Shop has a great stock of F1 Models and Memorabilia. The website is formulamodelshop.co.uk/ His service is excellent, my last purchase arriving a couple of days after ordering it. Quite often has great deals and special offers.
Along with DMHI, Red Twenty 3 are major contributors at Formula 1 Diecast Model Collectors on Facebook
Car Model Store
The website is www.carmodelstore.co.uk which is their online shop.
CK-Modelcars
This German based online store has an amazing range of products and great prices. For example, the Jenson Button McLaren I purchased from them came in at around £30.00 – a fantastic saving.
The website is ck-modelcars.de
Car Model
Car Model is an Italian online store, with an excellent selection of Diecast Models. You’ll find some of the F1 Auto Collection (Italian Set) here, along with an extensive selection of Brumm, Tameo, Altaya & Edicola Ferrari’s.
Here’s their website www.carmodel.com
BP Fairs
Barry Potter Fairs (BP Fairs) run what I think are the biggest and best Toy Fairs in the UK. The NEC Birmingham show is the Britain’s Biggest Toy Fair with around 500 stalls. You’ll normally find DHMI & P&P there and I have always found numerous bargains. Sandown Park is another favourite. These and 7 other locations, mainly Midlands, are on 3 or 4 times a year.
Check out there website for further details: www.bpfairs.com/
Bulldog Fairs
Bulldog Fairs are found in the South West of England. The Show at Shepton Mallet is very good, being the biggest, followed by Exeter with about 200 stalls. Once again, I have usually picked up a number of bargains. With any Toy Fairs you have to look quite hard and have a rummage. Don’t worry if the cases are damaged, you can replace them. It’s the condition of the cars that’s important.
