awe u didn’t have to take it out the wrap for us
I was shouting af the screen NOoooo don't do it. We could see them well enough.
maybe he wanted to do it and this is the ideal occasion
But he got the same excitement out of it as I would getting one like on Tinder.
xD
@@shiznuts That's an equally sad and funny comment. Love it.
I honestly didn’t want him to take it out.
Very nice collection and it deserves a very nice display. You might want to consider a "Barrister's Bookcase." They are generally made as modular stacking boxes with a glass front that is hinged at the top. No offense meant to your friend's collection, but anybody can have glass shelves that look like they came from some cheap furniture store. Your collection deserves a place of pride worthy of its importance and value. Google barristers bookcase and you will see what I mean. They not only look great, but are also built to last through many of your family's generations. I have a set from my grandfather that still look like the day they were made. The video I would like to see? One of each, of course.
Stunning models there. He's a fellow bluenose too.🤣👍
Can see the lovely detail in the wastegate outlets below the exhausts of those Jaguar XJR-11's.
If you're into models cars, you want to pay a visit to On Your Marques model car museum in Lincolnshre! Amazing collection plus he's got a huge Scalextric set too!
Love it, great collection. Started my own Jaguar Le Mans display but with slot cars so the kids can play them
Very envious of your collection. Aston Martin.
all of those cars are awesome and i guess i couldnt decide which on of those i would like to know more of. So i decided to throw some more in there, Mazda 787b and the Sauber C9 are some really special cars to me and id like to know more about those:) Thanks for the content and the sacrifice of taking the jags out of the wrappers although you dont need to do this for me:)
Considering new filming won't be resumed anytime soon...and you guys having a lot of behind the scenes content that might never see the light of day...why not put that out for a laugh? it would be absolutely fantastic for us fans. Thanks
Another vote for the Peugeot fella
XJR-9’s are the best of all these models 👌🏻
Great collection. Collect model cars is like drug.
Does the display box come as standard with the Norev cars or does it have to be purchased seperately?
What is the name of the background music 🤔
edit: great video
The purple Porshe
Send him a display case somebody please...
Jeremy, James, and Richard. Pay the man more. He's driving a Mondeo for God's sake.
Thank you for the video!
You know that that is the only car all 3 of them like right?
My Lego car collection just got a lot less impressive...
knowing Lego they probably cost more
No way! Lego is awesome!
James Needham yeah some of them are pretty expensive. I’ve probably spent the equivalent of about £750 on them lol
At least you built it yourself
You really didn't have to remove the packaging off the Jags dude, you looked petrified! Really cool video👍🏻
Yes he didn't have to do that felt bad for him.
@@davewsh8434 and wouldn't that affect the value of them, if he left them wrapped would be worth more surely
ItsAJW_ yea they would
It's a crying shame to buy something and not enjoy it though. You might as well just put money into a high interest account or something. Buy something, enjoy it, if you get some back for it at a future point, bonus!
ItsAJW_ seems more like disrespecting the efforts of the craftsman to just keep it in the disgusting cello film
Your hand and arm movements so close to those models made me nervous....and they're not even mine 😄
Your passion and anxiety are appreciated and understood. A deep dive into any of them would be a great watch- the car YOU are the most interested in would be the best video to watch. Thanks for sharing your stable with us!👍
The xjr 9's are amazing but I prefer the mazda 787b in renown green and orange :)
Sameeeee bruh
+1 here :)
Same
@Rylee :3
Mazda was forced to leave series and have unconventional engine.
Exoto models are made in California, they're amazing, i have a Williams carbon livery fw 14b test car in my collection of about 120 1/18 scale cars, the detail is incredible.
do you think I should get an exoto Porsche 934 rsr? I am thinking of starting a collection
@@biketheperson6919 You should if you like it
I thought you were gonna say Hi guys I’m Shmee. Lol
@Tejas Kulkarni She died in Revenge of the Sith...Anakin didn't get to the Tusken Raiders' camp in time to save her. 😢
Hi guys I'm Shamee! Pfft.
Tejas Kulkarni Shmee likes to have a lot of diecast models. ‘Also he said Hi guys I’
Hello and welcome!
I cringe when I hear tht
Thank you, Mike, for sharing your car collection. Exoto makes excellent scale models. I had a phone conversation with the owner of Exoto a number of years ago. He was extremely passionate about getting all of the details correct on the race liveries. If you are interested in very high quality 1:18 older classic race cars check out CMC scale models.
I want to see something about the Jaguars - Silk Cut ones.
I have the same Silk Cut Jaguar but...I built it from an expensive plastic kit! My love of that model is much greater than any of my die cast models. My blood sweat and tears went into that Jag.
Amazing models! Wouldnt mind a video about the Peugeot 905C!
I felt your pain..
I have to be honest, I've never been and I'm not, a fan of those style of racing cars. However, you obviously are. When I was a kid I collected 1:18 Bburago Models. Must have had 40. I absolutely loved them, but my cousins got hold of a couple of them and mirrors broke, spoilers came off... Wheels... You know. I'm now 40, and still gutted. Thank you for putting yourself through that for this video thoroughly enjoyed it. Let us know when you've got your display cabinet sorted, would love to see it 👌👍
Yeah man, I had a HUGE collection of 1:18 as well, some particularly nice AutoArt and my mother threw them ALL AWAY after I went to college!!!!! 10 years later i'm STILLLLL gutted! I'll never get those back.
@@MicahPotts I've never understood this, be it baseball cards, model cars, whatever... you don't just throw away someone else's collection! I'm truly sorry for your loss, and Ray's as well.
@@MicahPotts nooooooo!!!!!!!! I'm gutted for you!
Ha Ha I understand your pain. I Had 3 HUGE cast Tonka trucks that I could basically sit on when I was 4/5. I'm now 37 and still frequently remind the Mother what a fool she was for giving them away when I grew out of them. Hindsight is a lovely thing.
Interesting video DriveTribe, it's always great seeing such model cars in detail. It's also great to hear a history/details about the real cars! Thanks and bring us more of these!
The Group C Peugeot is the one I know the least about consequently it gets my vote for what I would like to see you do.
Nice little collection. It seems to me that you payed too much for some of these models.
Those norev models go for around €40-50 right now.
7:15 Why would you buy them and then not display them? I display all my models, even the really expensive ones. (Exoto, CMC, Autoart,...)
As an 1/43 collector, when you pulled out the hpi triple set, i got goosebumps. I’d give my left one for the Sauber-Mercedes set, but the Porsche or Jaguar sets are just as awesome.
That exoto xjr-9 is just breathtaking, btw. Also, while getting a xjr in 1/43 might be easier than 1/18, actually sourcing one with the silk cut decals took me months of patient eBay watching (thank you, seller from France!)
Currently, I’m only one TWR XJ-S etcc car away from finishing my racing jaguar collection and as much as I spend on models, the technology and stories they all represent never fail to bring joy to my life.
Mate I can’t believe you opened your models! Thank you so much! That is huge. More on the Aston please!
I have several Exoto models, they are probably in the top 5 of great models, being retired now, I can't afford them. I have the Exoto 917 Sunoco model with both the bird cage and full body models, it's valued around $4500.00 now.
Wow man... Nice collection... Really nice... At this moment I have 120 models on my collection from 1:18 to 1:43 scale... My collection is probably around the 1800 pounds mark by my calculations... Fortunately my current real car is worth a lot more than that... But my previous wasn't 😂... What can I say, call us nerds or whatever, but it's a real passion... As for the video I'll go for the iconic Porsche 917 😉
They may not be like those, but the most realistic models, I’ve have ever seen are Pocher kits. For example, if the rims were wire spokes, you had
to build the rims w/little “wire spokes”. Real leather, real carpet. Amazing detail. Kits can run upwards of $2000.00.
And I thought my Burago Lambo was impressive 🤣
Great collection!! It was great to see how stressed you were :)
The Peugeot engined Mclaren was the mp4/9 though, not the mp4/10 which was the first Merc engined Mclaren. Also, Exoto is an American brand.
My 1/24 NASCAR diecast collection has gone well over £10,000 (not including the costs I’ve paid for delivery and import tax)
Awesome collection.... I have a few CMC pre war German race cars and the MB 196 and transporter that are stored in their boxes currently as I don’t have a nice display case....Nice models are just very nice !
Everyone is uploading right now, i feel like ive missed something
I have the Exoto XJR 9. It's a fabulous model! Thanks for sharing your collection with us.
Those TWR Jaguars bring back some pretty powerful memories for me. I had a pretty bad motorcycle accident a few months before le man....my friend and I decided not to go to le man, but a few days before the race, we met up and by the end of the night, had booked tickets to the race. Seeing those 3 jags cross the finish line was unbelivable
I just bought these cases for my 1/18 models that have LED lights in the corners to show off the car as if it was in a show room for $30. If you want cases for your models I highly suggest getting ones with lights to show off the color of the car
Thanks for keeping me entertained during lockdown in South Africa
Beautiful collection. I am also an obsessive model collector (mainly 1/16 tanks and 1/32 lead soldiers) and I can tell you that you must get them out on display. The joy of a collection for me is to see it all together and be able to compare items. You just need some decent glass cabinets. Enjoy your wonderful cars. Every time you walk past the cabinets you will stop and admire them. It will make you happy every day. I have 6 separate collections (models, amber, ancient silver jewellery, meteorites, prehistoric stone tools and RC vehicles) and they are all on display. My whole house is a collection. I admire them all the time. Pretty sure Buddhism is not for me...
Great collection Mike! My favourite of the bunch is the Aston Martin.
Once you got diecast you never go back, seeing your excitement tells me how deep you're into the hobby.
so his car costs 900 pounds, but he's willing to pay more for model cars ...smh
Awesome, really love your knowledge and enthusiasm. 👍
Rangers though, come on. 👎. 😉
John McMahon they might be able to help him out with an empty display cabinet though!
Nice! If you do display watch the lighting as they can be affected by uv. I would rotate and display for a couple of months a year so they don't get light damaged. Not normally a Porsche fan but my favourite is the 917K. 😎
An actual collector feels you emotion when removing the packaging
I had 30+ 1:18 models placed in my display cabinet and one day while I was cleaning the models the shelf supports gave way and my complete collection came tumbling down out of the cabinet in front of my eyes. Half of the models had minor damage but the resin models especially were completely destroyed. One of the worst days in recent memory so I totally understand your behavior when handling your most precious models.
I finally found a youtuber that i almost speak the same way
And goodevening! :D
I think your collection value has been significantly understated! It's worth way more than you realise, I expect
Not really, he even payed way more than some of them are worth. It's a shame, because he could have gotten better versions of them for almost the same price. The exoto is the only one that's kinda in its real value. That's what happens when you don't know where to buy nor investigate enough before doing a purchase. I'm not saying it's a bad collection, though, it only saddens me that it could be greater for less.
I thought of the Peugeot just before you mentioned you'd like to drive it because of its engine 👍 you should also get a model of the #55 Mazda 787B from 1991 in 1:18 scale and then create some content with that 😉
Given the attention to detail, exclusivity, and joy that these models bring to you I consider the investment well worth it and encourage you to continue collecting. I used to race RC cars and can relate to your passion for the hobby.
I have about 60 1:18's, low end and high end. Let's just say the total value of my collection is a little bit.. more nuts
Thijs O. I’ve just started on 1:18, have 2, both corvettes (just by luck those were the ones at the market, I don’t particularly like vettes), one b burago c5 and one no name c1.
I have a high end model collection on my channel, this is an expensive hobby, how about $120K for a collection! People think i'm mad
That Peugeot is stunning. What a beautiful machine.
Would also be the best choice for the video given Jeremy and James' hatred of Peugeot.
I would want the porshe 917, and that is an amazing collection.
I am a 1997 to 1999 Le Man enthusiast mostly GT1 Race Car.
That is why I'm so hype in the Le Mans 2020 Hyper car class because it's look like they bring back the GT1 era.
If only this global Pandemic didn't happen.....
I want to have all of it in Hot Wheels in 1/64 scale toy, specially the AMG Mercedes Benz CLR, The McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail, The 1998 Audi R8 GTP LM Hard Top, NIssan R390 GT1 and the Toyota GT-One.
unfortunately none of a toy makers make the AMG Mercedes Benz CLR replica so..
Hot Wheels, Tomica or Mini GT pls make one for me?
Also I want to have a 1/64 scale NIssan GT-R LM NIsmo LMP1 too.
Great collection. What bugs my minds is that ONE Amalgam models is still cost more money than this entire collection.
I bought my first and only Amalgam 1/8th Ferrari F2004 F-1 model a few years back. The most accurate and detailed model I’ve ever owned. Very expensive but so worth it when you display it properly. Has turned out to be a great investment as only 30 were made.
Ideas for future videos... see if Hammond can drive a model car without crashing it.
Seriously, though, I love stories about Le Mans history. Tell the tales of the cars and the drivers and the teams, one at a time. And if you could wear a Jackie Stewart hat while doing it, I'll love you forever! :-)
Generally Exoto XS range are the most detailed 1/18 model cars I have ever seen but Exoto owner is a scammer so wouldn’t put any money towards this brand. The next best model maker is CMC, I have 3 of their Porsche 901, in beige, blue and green colour variations, as well as Ferrari 312P Coupe, 2 x Ferrari 275 GTB/C in red and a green Jaguar C-Type all made by CMC. Also have a 1/12 Lamborghini Countach in orange colour made by Kyosho. Have all these models in their own leather/alcantara dust proof display cases scattered all over my study. Every time I pass by I stop and admire the sheer beauty of these things 🙌🏻
Hi Mike, another great video and some really nice models, it does'nt bother me much if the body panels like doors etc open or not, i bought a 1.12 scale bluebird land speed record car and nothing opens yet its my favourite model that i own, made by a boy named Jeff luft,, i hope I have his name right, take care.
Second car: G E K O N O L I S E E R D. What is it with British people and pronouncing foreign names?! Pathetic af man😂😂 much love from Dutchieland❤️
Globus Junkius no way man😂😂😂😂 it’s bad, but nowhere near as bad as the British people😂😂 got many mate from the UK and Scotland, and they all agree with me😂😂
Great video! If you like Diecast cars you should check out a channel Imperial Diecast. I am an avid viewer, he's the king of diecast IMHO (if that is even a thing)
I'm kinda obsessed with the McLaren F1 haha! I have 3 models in 1:18. An F1 GTR, F1 GTR LT and roadcar. I also do have some japanese racecars like the 1997 Subaru Impreza WRC, 1973 Mazda Savanna RX3 and Nissan Skyline R32 Bathurst racer. A porsche 911 GT1 and a Carrera GT. Some little 1:43 Audi Quattro's as well. Might buy a 1:18 Audi 200 Quattro Trans Am in the near future.
I have a few 1:24 scale Le mans cars, the Nissan GT-R LM in several different liveries, a Corvette Z06LM one or two P2 cars and a Patrick Dempsey Racing 911GTLM that is signed (on the clear case) by the man himself. I also have 1:48 Delta Wing. And two 1:24 Alonso Benetton F1 cars both signed (again on the case) by Mr Alonso. I don't have any cirtification for the signatures, I just got them signed when at races, but hope it raises there value a little.
I'm also into collecting models but for me I prefer to build them rather than die cast or anything. Recently finished a 2017 fiesta wrc and am currently working on a Porsche 917K in martini livery. Im mostly a model aircraft builder though. I build from kits but often scratch build detail
I myself am a Mazda Motorsports nut. I have been looking for a 1/18 scale 1990 Mazda GTO model. Also the BK Motorsports courage LMP2 car the Lola backbone bp fuels Mazda the 2008 speedsource #70 rx8 ( I was Deadman for that car at the 24hours at Daytona that year which we won) and the new rt24 Mazda. All above in 1/18 or 1/10 scale the 787 b car is a must but since they are everywhere I don't feel the need to buy one. Anyway any help locating any of the above I need them for my shops office
I will gladly see a video on the Peugeot, just because there have been a lot of videos about Porsches & Audis out there compared to this.
For me, the car model that I'm gonna get (if i have the money) is definitely the Toyota TS020/GT-One. It's just the coolest car I've ever seen and growing up with Gran Turismo.. It's no question why i loved the GT-One.
obviously the Porsche 917k and the RS Spyder ...I used to own the 917k winner of Le mans 1970 (1:18 Autoart), as well as the DHL RS Spyder ... now they are getting kinda expensive though ...
Never understand why people get loads of basically the same or similar cars! The Jag to get is not a winner, but the XJR-14 which is a beauty. The winning ones offend my eyes! But nice collection. Would love to see the Porsche RS Spyder and I'm adding a 1:43 of that to my want list...very pretty car, something about those headlights. I always liked LMP2s with their open cockpits.
None of these models floats my boat. However Ixo do make a 1:8 Scale Citroen DS. that has opening windows, even fuel flap opens, It Costs £900. it is over 600mm long, Trouble is I do have grand children, and they always want to play with my 1:18 model (road) cars. So I cannot buy it, that and the wife says there is no place to keep it - Although our coffee table is ideal size.

Hey Mike, get yourself a pair of cotton gloves, that way you will not leave fingerprints on the models. They are cheap as chips and will save my OCD when you make another video on your models.
I have only one model, it’s I/18 scale and a race car too. The Holden VK Group C Commodore that won the 1984 Bathurst 1000. The detail that modellers can achieve are amazing.
Thanks for sharing your collection Mike.
Exoto started in California with a manufacturing base in China and later on when the cost of manufacturing increased in China they moved to the United Arab Emirates. They constructed their own factory line. The move to UAE proved to be a fatal mistake as the cost didn't go down and eventually they priced themselves out against the tough competition from CMC.
CMC coming in with a manufacturing base in China and releasing the Ferrari 156 F1 Sharkenose was a big blow for Exoto.
The company exists but they don't manufacturer models anymore. I think they loan/rent their excellent molds to other model manufacturers.
Exoto is a victim of its owner ego who insisted on pricing his models at prices that put them outside the reach of the majority of model collectors. That bread of collectors who are willing to buy close to US$ 700 doesn't exist anymore.
By the way, CMC is on the same path with its latest releases, for example, the 600 Pullman, a nice and highly detailed model but would pay above Euro 750 or you can get a model for the same car at US$ 300 from AutoArt. The majority of collectors will go with the AutoArt model because all these features in the model won't be used or used frequently because they are bron to break with use.
So my first bad habbit was model cars, 1/24 and 1/25 scale. The plastic ones you just put together and paint yourself. Lately I have been building 1/10 scale rc cars, monster trucks, and scale 4x4s Man this was so cool.
Kinda creepy....yes I knew a grown man that had a "car collection"...in plastic, and rather small, about 150mm long. These guys obviously had difficult & deprived childhoods...all the toys they never had at 6 years-old...now they are making up for these "missing" toys...do they go Vroom vroom with these along the floor when nobody is looking?
Too bad we can't share photos on RUclips. I've got a massive collection of model cars. Mostly 1/43rd, but a few 1/18ths, a few more 1/24 scale, and some 1/87th & 1/64s to boot. It's an addiction I need to address....
Surprised that they titled this in the third person since he’s probably the one who put the video up. That’s quite strange. I think a better title would have been “Mike Fernie’s Model Car Collection Is Worth More Than His Actual Car.” When it’s James May answering questions the title isn’t “This Man Answers The Internet’s Questions,” is it?
Normally I'd say never buy an exoto from factory because their prices are outrageous but they have a sale going on right now. Like 60-70% off in some cases. I just bought an andretti lotus 49b
Mike, I loved your collection & appreciate you sharing it with us. You come across as a genuine & decent bloke. Forgive me if I've misjudged it but you don't seem as though actually do suffer from ocd. Again, my sincere apologies if I have this wrong. My son suffers from ocd. It is a debilitating condition which ruins lives & not something to be taken lightly when referring to a normal level of care taken with precious possessions. Please don't take offence. I am not angry, just slightly too sensitive about a very serious mental health condition that most people shrug off as being just about light switches & keeping things tidy. Love the channel. A £900 st200 is a bargain. Do you want to sell it?
I happened to have a Tamiya 1/24 XJR-9 model when I was a kid. Don't remember what happened to it, as I still have most of my models. But I was never really into racing stuff. I'm more of a fan of street cars and trucks. But since I'm from eastern europe I can'T even afford a huge collection of model cars.
nice collection. 2 race winning cars driven by Dutch ex-F1 racers. Lammers in the Jag and Jos 'the Boss' Verstappen in the RS Spyder.
Personally i make a point of buying a 1 to 43 model of all the cars i have ever owned. No, none of them are supercars.
my favorite 1/18 models that I own are a Ferrari 330P3 of 1967 by Jouef, and a 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO by Elite. exquisite models both.
Do NOT glue that wing in place on the Exoto XJR-9. I've had the 1988 race winner from Exoto, and I believe the rear bodywork cannot be removed when the wing is in place. Also, you cannot pack it when moving or selling it since you cannot remove it anymore, at least not without damaging it.
Just checked the XJR-11 link and found another one from China "model 1 of 35". Hmmm, now which one's the genuine one........(Great collection by the way!)
I love DRIVETRIBE thank you so much Mike hope you are ok and thank you for sharing amazing models very nice. I love models too I have a lot of Holden special vehicles, Brock commodores and some Toronas too. Australian cars love cars. Thank you again for sharing :)
I have a "Speedway of the South" racer set from the first Cars movie with Lightning McQueen, which is worth more than all your cars together, and in fact the Apple Car is worth £1000 alone. Limited to 1000 sets means these sets are rare if you haven't let your kids loose on the 36 cars...which most people did 😂
My nearly 40 year collection,around 8700 of mainly,1:72,50,43,24/5 and some 1:18 is roughly worth about 3 times my sister's house!.
Definitely the Peugot 905 for the next video. I have an Exoto 1989 Sauber Mercedes C9 RLG18196 for sale that you can add to your collection!
Nooooooo! I wished you kept them in the wrap!
@@Spooky711BI actually had a tear roll down my eye. I was thinking about my formula one car collection.
I have a few too, but I collect 1/43. I have a Nescafe Renault Laguna of Jason Plato by Minichamps. #3 out of 1500 that I would say my favorite.
Please please do content on the Aston LMP1, Peugeot 905 and even a history lesson of the Jaguars that raced in Group C. Amazing models by the way. Thanks for the video.
childsplay , i have models in my collection of 2000 gbp each building a one off jaguar xjr9 lm in 1/8 scale right now , and a 1/8 scale jaguar xj13, and jaguar d type as well
Lovely models, very interesting. My favourite was the dark green XJR9.
A proper video on the Peugeot 905 would be great.
Or on a 1998 Porsche GT1 or Ferrari 333SP... those are my favourite 1/18 models I own.
