Renault 25 TX 1990 “phase II” (Norev)
In the previous post about my trip to the Autoworld Museum (link here), I mentioned a word or two about the model shop that was there. As a decent collector, I couldn’t just walk past it. I had to explore.…

Autoworld Museum Brussels – “American Dream Cars and Bikes. The Golden Years”. Fotorelacja
Nowy rok na blogu rozpoczynam z rozmachem, relacją z dość spontanicznej wycieczki do muzeum Autoworld w Brukseli. Relacja ta w planach nie była, ale krótko po wejściu do hali i zobaczeniu ogromu eksponatów uznałem, że grzechem byłoby niepokazanie ich na…
Renault Laguna I Grandtour 1995 (Vitesse)
The development of the first Laguna took surprisingly long. It began in 1988, but was halted in the early 90s. The works resumed after a year and their effect was shown to the world at the end of 1993. When…
Renault 25 GTS 1989 “phase II” (Norev)
The French car manufacturers don’t have too much luck with the executive car segment lately. The charm, modern technology and ride comfort of their exec cars cannot seem to convince many clients outside the home market. The last model which…
FSO Syrena Sport (Kultowe Auta PRL-u)
Planned economy in the times of socialist Poland meant that there was no place for fantasies. The best example is the crude motor industry, that produced only what was absolutely necessary. Despite these unfavourable conditions, the engineers from the Polish…
FSO 125p MR’83 (Kultowe Auta PRL-u)
1st January 1983 – this is when the license for the Polski Fiat 125p expired. Despite previous premises, this didn’t mean an end of production of the car. After placing the FSO badge and removing the “Fiat License” plate, the…
Mercedes-Benz 408 Safari (Mehanotehnika)
Today’s post will be unusual. I will go outside the blog’s profile slightly and for the first time I’ll present a cable steered model. A model that is technically classed as a toy. However, I figured that it is so…
Fiat Regata Weekend 100S 1986 (Kess Models)
The phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” is perfectly applicable to the Fiat Regata. The looks of the car are exceptionally humble – it’s just another compact car. A jigsaw puzzle of other Fiats, although – ironically –…
Mazda 323 mkII 1982 (Whitebox)
The Mazda 323 never had an easy life. Even though it was a relatively well engineered car, it remained in the shadow of the Toyota Corolla. Understandably, Mazda wanted to change this. In 1980 it introduced the new 323 (code…
Renault Talisman 2015 (Norev)
Name changes in the world of cars are nothing new. By doing this the manufacturers want to highlight the “new beginning” and draw a clear line between the new model and its predecessors. Two years ago Renault took this approach…
