Lotus Corps members may have seen the recent advertisements for a new scale model of the Lotus Europa Special by Automodello. If you happen to be a Europa owner or enthusiast such as myself, this model must certainly have piqued
Matt’s Models – June 2011
This month brings to fruition, a long wait for a few very rare (and much delayed) models. Minichamps, makers of excellent models in both 1/43 and 1/18th scale, had mentioned that they were going to be releasing a new batch of lotus models
Matt’s Models – March 2011
This month, we take a peak at a couple of new releases from Spark, in all their l/43 handbuilt glory. Those who have been following my articles know that I have been very impressed with the Lotus line from Spark.
Matt’s Models – February 2011

Matt’s Models – May 2010
First off, let me show you another late find that I had for the last newsletter. If you recall, we covered the Lotus 99T. This little gem comes courtesy of Kyosho in 1:64 scale (approximately a Hot Wheels size), and was sold as
Matt’s Models – April 2010
This month we look at the Lotus 99T, and several offerings that have been available through the years. As a refresher, the Lotus 99T was the formula car that was designed by Gerard Ducarouge for the 1987 season. At the time, Lotus was
