KG Classic Model Cars is pleased to present to you its recent and forthcoming releases on the occasion of the 2014 Toy Fair in Nuremberg. You are looking at a multitude of new, innovative items that cover a wide field. We see to it that each collector is very likely to find "his dream model" below. Ferrari 312P Berlinetta, 1969 Scale 1:18 Item Number M-096 Suggested Retail Price: 349.- €. After the first few races, the 312P Spyder scored little success, except for a 2nd place at Sebring. By the end of April 1969, a new version of the 312P had been born, which was equipped with a CMC GmbH & Co. KG, Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRA 724294 Volksbank Esslingen Postbank Stuttgart Deutsche Bank AG Esslingen Pers. Haft. Gesellschafter: BLZ 611 901 10 BLZ 600 100 70 BLZ 611 700 76 CMC Verwaltung GmbH, Denkendorf Konto 3 808 009 Konto 275 424 700 Konto 152 882 700 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 729170 IBAN: DE75611901100003808009 IBAN: DE19600100700275424700 IBAN: DE90611700760152882700 Geschäftsführerin: Shuxiao Jia BIC: GENODES1ESS BIC: PBNKDEFF BIC :DEUTDESS611 -2- fixed roof to give better aerodynamics and came to be known as Berlinetta. At the race in Spa – Francorchamps, the Berlinetta finished 2nd, which was a considerable achievement. In the next race at “24 Hours of Le Mans,” Ferrari entered two 312P Berlinettas, but one was out of luck, and the other was caught in an accident or technical defects. However, even if the 312P Berlinetta did not turn out to be an absolute winner in races, this sport racing car went down in history as one of the finest-looking cars of all time that had hit the race tracks.CMC replicated this stunningly beautiful race car down to minute detail. The model has been made available. We would like to take this opportunity to call your attention once more to its "brother vehicle" -- the Ferrari 312P Spyder ( Sebring race version ). Itemized as M -095 with a MSRP of 349 €, the Spyder was introduced in late 2013. CMC has both M-095 and M-096 in stock and is ready to deliver them from Fellbach office. In addition to the two models, we offer a fantastic replica of the 312P motor unit (1:18 scale), which is nicely encased, itemized as M-121, and carries a suggested retail price of 114 €. The motor unit is currently available. -3- Bugatti 57 SC Corsica Roadster, 1938 Scale 1:18 Item Number: M-106 Suggested Retail Price: 349.- €. British Colonel Godfrey Giles acquired a 1937 Bugatti 57 S chassis for an avantgarde roadster he would like to have. His brother Eric Giles took over the design of the body, and the English coachbuilder Corsica executed the plans of bodywork. A roadster with beguiling beauty was born in 1938, with the registration plate GU7. Due to the problems developed later, the engine was fitted with modified pistons and a compressor as a remedy. In this way, the new model designation becae 57 SC (C = Compresseur ) . In 1985, the vehicle came into the possession of John Mozart, a famous vintage car collector in California. At the end of 1995 John Mozart initiated a complete restoration of the vehicle. It resulted in adding a fantastic roadster with a dark blue finish to Mozart’s collection, and the car won the coveted title “Best of Show” at the Pebble Beach Concours in 1998. CMC replicated the Mozart vehicle, together with its present splendor and almost unadulterated originality, in the form of a high-end model of the premium class. We thank Mr. Mozart and the company Bugatti SAS - tradition for their kind support. The launch of the Bugatti 57 SC Corsica roadster is sheduled for the first half of 2014. -4- Bugatti 57 SC Corsica Roadster,1938 Sport - Version Scale 1:18 Limited Edition 1000 Pcs Item Number: M-129 Suggested Retail Price 369.- €. In the 1930s, it was very common for British car owners and enthusiasts who were at once members of prestigious automobile clubs to hold "private car races." What could have kept the proud owner of a world-famous unique Bugatti roadster from participating in such sporting competitions! After all, the Bugatti owner was well aware that with a 200 horsepower output under the hood of his car, odds tended to be in his favor. So without further ado, the Bugatti 57 SC Corsica was converted into a racing car for such events. The remodeling was not too extensive, and the most obvious modification involved the following: • Elimination of the continuous ( double-sided ) windshield, which was replaced by a driver's side windshield only. • Integration of the spare wheel into the luggage compartment lid with a cover. • A light blue finish of the exterior. Based on contemporary archival records, CMC has replicated a sports version of the Corsica authentically as a limited edition of 1000 pieces. The vehicle was at the time with starting number 43. Various plaques on the front bumper of the vehicle stood evidence to sporting successes and the membership or ties of drivers to various automobile clubs. This strictly limited edition model is scheduled to be launched in the first half of 2014. -5- Bugatti 57 SC Motor Unit in a Showcase Scale 1:18 Item Number: M-112 Suggested Retail Price 114.-€ This motor unit is another highlight in our newly-launched motor series in 1:18 scale, and each replica comes in a quality, dustproof acrylic display case. The item features an 8- cylinder in-line engine, as can be found in the 57 SC Corsica Roadster and the Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic Coupe. Extremely modern for its time, the 1938 engine once again serves as an ingenious signature for the House of Bugatti. With a bore x stroke dimension of 72x100 mm, a total displacement of 3,257 cc resulted. The combination of a compression ratio of 8.5:1, two overhead camshafts, a Roots-Supercharger with integrated drive in the crankcase, and Stromberg carburetors UUR2 or type Bugatti enabled a performance of 200 hp, which was remarkable for its time. A 6-fold crankshaft bearing and modern dry sump lubrication guaranteed a reliable and long-lasting service life. Picture-perfect, this motor unit is hand-assembled with elaborate parts and will enrich any model car collection. It will be available in the first half of 2014. Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B, 1938 Special Touring Coupé Scale 1:18 Item Number: M-107 Suggested Retail Price 349.- €. The vehicle in the spotlight here is one of a kind. It has been the pride of the Alfa Romeo Museum "Storico" in Arese, Italy. This is not only because the car has an interesting history, but also because its looks are so spectacular and unique. -6- Originally, the 8C 2900B was prepared for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1938. The vehicles delivered had a body designed by Touring specialists with a closed-top structure (Berlinetta), which incorporated aerodynamic expertise in lightweight design with patent technology based on Touring Superleggera principle (aluminum body). In addition to a powerful eight-cylinder engine with 220 hp, the vehicle was equipped with specific equipment for Le Mans races. However, despite a superior lead in the 24-hour race, the car was not a success. A blowout and a subsequent ruptured valve put an abrupt end to what appeared to be a certain victory. After the race, the car was repaired and sold. In the course of time, it changed hands several times. Finally, the vehicle wound up in England, from which it was brought back in the 1980s to the Alfa Museum "Storico" in exchange for Type 158 Alfetta, a Grand Prix racing car. Storico had the vehicle restored as a street version in its original condition, to which a dark red finish was eventually applied. Since then the vehicle has achieved the status of an absolute rarity, and it tends to cast a fascinating spell on museum visitors. In close cooperation with the Alfa Romeo Storico, CMC will replicate this jewel of Alfa Romeo as a high-end model of the premium class. We put its much-anticipated launch in autumn 2014. Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Special Starting Number 19, 24H France. 1938 Limited Edition 3000 Pieces Scale 1:18 Item Number: M-111 Suggested Retail Price 384.- € Beginning in 1938, Alfa Romeo started their own racing department "Alfa Corte," which was literally up to arms for the upcoming 24-hour race in Le Mans. Intensive preparations included strenuous efforts to provide the 8C 2900 B with a special edge. The primary concern was the air resistance against a closed-top structure (coupe). It so happened that the renowned coachbuilder Touring company had adopted lightweight construction to develop -7- an aerodynamic Berlinetta body known as Superleggera. The body looked so unusually futuristic that it triggered a spontaneous sense of being enlightened in the viewers. The rear frame was also significantly lowered to enable a quick lift in the pit stop. The two powerful front fenders were integrated into the overall body. There were two large removable panels behind the front wheels to allow a quick access to the engine when necessary. The 2.9 liter 8-cylinder engine with two Roots Superchargers could rev up to 220 hp, giving the car a top speed of 245 Km/hr.

Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review
    1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review The year was 1935 when the Jaguar brand first leapt out of the factory gates. Founded in 1922 as the Swallow Sidecar Company by William Lyons and William Walmsley, both were motorcycle enthusiasts and the company manufactured motorcycle sidecars and automobile bodies. Walmsley was rather happy with the company’s modest success and saw little point in taking risks by expanding the firm. He chose to spend more and more time plus company money on making parts for his model railway instead. Lyons bought him out with a public stock offering and became the sole Managing Director in 1935. The company was then renamed to S.S. Cars Limited. After Walmsley had left, the first car to bear the Jaguar name was the SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon released in September 1935. The 2.5l Saloon was one of the most distinctive and beautiful cars of the pre-war era, with its sleek, low-slung design. It needed a new name to reflect these qualities, one that summed up its feline grace and elegance with such a finely-tuned balance of power and agility. The big cat was chosen, and the SS Jaguar perfectly justified that analogy. A matching open-top two-seater called the SS Jaguar 100 (named 100 to represent the theoretical top speed of 100mph) with a 3.5 litre engine was also available. www.themodelcarcritic.com | 1 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1935 SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon www.themodelcarcritic.com | 2 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1936 SS Jaguar 100 On 23rd March 1945, the shareholders took the initiative to rename the company to Jaguar Cars Limited due to the notoriety of the SS of Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

I felt comfortable right the way through and it was great to finally get another win at one of the real classic F1 circuits. Now, we head to another of those in Monza. It’s an awesome track – so fast and with some of the most passionate fans you’ll see anywhere in the world. I was actually at this circuit with Sir Stirling Moss earlier this year, driving the banking in his old Mercedes W 196, which was just awesome. Having that taste of what it was like for those guys back in the day really gives you a feel for the history of this place and why it became so legendary. It’s still a big challenge today, too. Fast, but really technical at the same time with some heavy braking and big kerbs to ride for the best line. Racing in Italy brings back a lot of good memories for me and I’d love to add to those this weekend, so that’s the aim. Nico Rosberg Page 2 The race in Spa was definitely disappointing. My start was not good so I need to work on that and also on finding those extra tenths in qualifying to get back on top there.
