A Sport Renault - From Spain

It was an old idea to get (and restore) a Renault Alpine, but it is a rare model from any producer. What I could buy last year was a Spanish Guisval-made Alpine in fairly good condition.

I liked the original red colour, but what I saw still in my childhod was - blue. So I painted it nice metallic blue with the details, too. I changed the original wheels for cool rubber sport wheels!

And the result:

...and this real car was the inspiration:

A cool Mercedes-Benz cabrio by Lesney

The Lesney had produced this Mercedes 280SL in white and in yellow colour. I thought, I would restore one in red colour with pale interior.

This model, I bought had no windsreen, it had to be replaced by a freshly made one. Otherwise the other parts were ok.

Beside the new bright red paint it got the details, too.
