From the Racerhead collection. Every few years, I slim down my rather large collection a little to make way for the new. For the next few weeks, I’ll be offering up many models from F1, BTCC, Rallying, DTM, IMSA and more, including racing books that will tempt you and an interesting model display or two. Stay tuned each Sunday night for more.
