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.
Here the website: www.bulldogfairs.com
