There has been a bumper crop of new model release announcements for 2023 over the last few weeks and we’ve got them all covered – from Corgi, Oxford Diecast and Matchbox. We catch up with ice cream van collector extraordinaire, Chris Copner and see how much his collection has grown since his article 20 years ago, aged just 14 at the time. We celebrate the Baby-Benz’s 40th birthday, conclude the MGB’s 60th and even find time to visit Australia to look back at some old Matchbox specials. For truck fans, there’s a detailed look at Lone Star’s Fodens too. We also have a small tribute to the late Queen with models of her first car as a monarch.

As well as all your regular favourites, latest industry news, auction news and price guide, and lots of brand new models detailed and reviewed.
