Corgi has just announced its first phase of models for the coming year, with some truly excellent new tooling and plenty of old favourites in new colours and liveries. Also on the subject of new ranges, Oxford Diecast’s new TT offerings are on show. We conclude our look at Lancia’s sports car that took on the rallying world, plus there’s another Italian beauty under the spotlight in the shape of Alfa Romeo’s pretty 4C. Standard’s vintage Vanguard also features. Renault’s family favourite, the 4, begins a four-part feature and the editor has been busy on his workbench with a bus project and the latest update on the huge Porsche 917 build. And in our Corgi through the years series, we’ve reached the part with the most famous release ever.

All your regular favourites are there too, of course, including collecting Matchbox Superfast by number, vintage Dinky of the month, our monthly glimpse into the editor’s collection, and brand new model releases detailed and reviewed. There’s also the latest industry news, plus auction news and price guides, and readers’ letters – it’s another bumper issue packed with all manner of things new and old in the world of diecast.
