To celebrate the centenary of arguably the world’s greatest motor race, a brand new collection of 50 1/43 scale releases by Ixo has just begun. Released in pairs or available to purchase individually, the “24h Le Mans Collection” will see many of Ixo’s superb 1/43 scale Le Mans replicas repackaged with an informative magazine (with a free binder to keep them in). Further free gifts for subscribers will come in the form of a specially-commissioned mug and a 1/43 scale Fiat Bartoletti racing car transporter.

Starting off the collection are two very recent runners – the 2018-winning Toyota TS050 Hybrid and the 2019 LMGTE class-winning Porsche 911 RSR that was decorated in a tribute livery to the iconic 917-20 that raced in 1971, the ‘Pink Pig’. Both models are finished to Ixo’s traditionally-excellent standards and represent superb value.

Forty of the fifty issues appear to be confirmed, and the series is set to carry on in the following order: 1980 Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo and 2018 Alpine A470 (issues 3 & 4), 1995 McLaren F1 GTR and Ford GT40 (5 & 6), 2004 Audi R8 and 1970 Porsche 917K (7 & 8), 1978 Alpine A442B and 1965 Ferrari 275 LM (9 & 10), 2016 Ford GT LM and 2003 Bentley EXP Speed 8 (11 & 12), 2009 Peugeot 908 Hdi FAP and 1937 Bugatti 57G (13 & 14), 1976 BMW 3.5 CSL and 1991 Mazda 787B (15 & 16), 1990 Jaguar XJR12 and 1989 Sauber C9/88 (17 & 18), 1974 Matra MS670B and 2017 Porsche 919 Hybrid (19 & 20), 1998 Ferrari 333SP and 2017 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE (21 & 22), 1972 De Tomaso Pantera and 1985 Lancia LC2/85 (23 & 24), 1975 Gulf Mirage GR8 and 1983 Porsche 956 (25 & 26), 1968 Renault Alpine A210 and 1976 Chevrolet Greenwood Corvette (27 & 28), 1963 Ferrari 250P and 1981 Porsche 936/81 (29 & 30), 1967 Chaparral 2F and 2002 Dome S101 (31 & 32), 2010 Audi R15 TDI and 1976 BMW 3.5 CSL (33 & 34), 2012 Corvette C6.R and 1995 McLaren F1 GTR (35 & 36), 1998 Nissan R390 GT1 and 1992 Toyota TS 10 (37 & 38), and 1971 Porsche 917K and 2017 Oreca 07 (39 & 40).
