I have a bunch that I don't have pictures of yet. Here I am taking pictures of almost everything else. I guess I have some work to do.

The small lift is fully manual but the larger one (1:18) is power. Brian finds me amusing and thinks I'm a bit crazy but it looks like I have company. I have a full garage set-up in 1:18 as well, including shop vac (not operational).
Will try to take a few shots of the cabinet. And guess it's time to count how many models there are.
When I look for the "odd" models like the BugEye Johnny Lightning seems to have made them. A bit tough to find a TR8 model. There are a couple of TR7's made but not many.
I even have a Group 44 TR6. My first ever Ebay purchase years ago.

Here's a Vanguards TR7 V8 model that came out this year:
Triumph TR7 V8 – 1978 RAC Rally, 4th Place, Tony Pond and Fred Gallagher
http://www.corgi.co.uk/CorgiSite/200909vanguards/VA10505.htm
The TR7 V8 was homologated for international rallying on April 1, 1978 and hopes were high. However, a last minute decision not to disconnect the cable handbrake in favour of the hydraulic one meant that Pond lost time on day 1 when the mechanism jammed in a wheel. Thereafter, Pond, the one driver who really came to terms with the 300bhp TR7 V8, stormed back though the field to finish 4th, the highest placed non Ford Escort – a great drive in rallying history.

I asked Alex at MINI Yaletown to find me one of these a few years back and he got me this, telling me it was the last one in Canada for sale. He got it shipped over from MINI Head office.

I think he winged me $30. But at the time the Canadian dollar was around $.80 US so fair enough.
