Hi to all,
I'm Thierry from France. I have collected models since I was a child (Dinky,Matchbox,Corgi). But, until recently, I've never purchase handbuits models (because of the high prices).
Last december, I found (on a flea market near Paris!) about ten old handbuilt models.
Price was really low so I bought them all!
I have some questions about those models.
The first one is this Ferrari 365 california by Styling models with the label "A Balestrini".

This model has number 125, I wonder how many were made?
There was no box and some missing pieces, but I found later pieces in a little bag. I wonder what kind of glue was used?

I'll show you later the other cars. |

Hello Friends,
As Xmas present I came by this AMR Lamborghini. It is built to a rarer Lamborghini 400 GT Interim. I know nothing about the builder - but he provided an affectionate work with respect of the details (e.g. airvalves on the wheels).
If anybody has seen this model previously - or know anything about the builder I would be glad to receive the info. Thank you!
Best regards-
Sandor

Another old AMR found at very low price.
[url=http://imagesia.com/bitter-001_152sj] [/url]
This Bitter is maybe a factory built but I'm not sure.
It was created on feb 1984 by Francis Bensignor as he was working for AMR.
[url=http://imagesia.com/bitter-003_152sl] [/url]
The story is told here : http://grandiepiccoleauto.blogspot.fr/2013/02/la-storia-di-francis-bensignor-parte-12.html
The frame says : Bitter coupé 84 Minichamps Réf. 388 made in France (02 84) by AMR (684). I don't know if 684 is another reference or a serial number?

Hello Ferrari2006
So you sold the #27 last october and I bought #51 last december (not at the same price!).
Collectors world is a small world!
You said that you sold a red 365 California Spyder from Styling Models (for 705 Euro!!) on eBay.

Was it this one?

Hello Christian,
Many thanks for your explanations.
The early bbr story seems to be very complex with balcar, styling, eco, leader, vh, rex, autominia, valko, tacots, amacar and so on... |

hello Thierry
you made a very good deal
when the model has a number like the #25 or the #51 you have a factory built car
glue
in the early years BBR used cyanolit glue from Ciba Geigy factory ( today Novartis )
numbers
#25 was the twenty-fifth model that was produced in a year
the yellow 250 GT should be from 1984 or 1985
the cars where not limited, they built and sold, and built and sold
nobody knows how many
#25 is your 250 GT in yellow
#26 could be the same car or a 250 GT in red or blue or a 365 California or something else
Christian

Thank you Ferrari2006.
Here's another very old BBR from this flea market :
Ferrari pinin 1980 "Autominia by BBR".

Autominia was a kit manufacturer from Milano.
