A Christmas idea? Formula 1 models that made history
Roarington's gift guide for Formula 1 fans features iconic scale models, from the 1954 Mercedes Benz Race Car Transporter to the dominant McLaren F1 MP4/4. Explore motoring history with the Lotus 25 and the unique six-wheeled Tyrrell P34.
What better gift for a fan – adult or child, it makes no difference – than one or more Formula 1 single-seaters, in scale? There are specialized shops for these models but also plenty of opportunities to find them online, perhaps getting in touch with other enthusiasts in communities and forums. Another avenue is online model trading sites, where sometimes rare finds are available. The great thing is that there are models for every budget, starting from 1:43 scale to the larger and more expensive 1:18 scale models.
In the gift-hunting season, Roarington proposes some single-seaters, including those from __Mercedes__, which have played significant roles in motoring history. Stay tuned for next week's ideas, but no more single-seaters…
