Biante has three new models in the works. The feature position is held by the 1:18 Ford EB Falcon #17, drivers Dick Johnson and John Bowe – 1994 Sandown 500 Winner. Street wise the team unveils the 1:18 Holden VN Commodore SS Group A and the 1:18 HSV VS Clubsport. All three are developed in diecast with opening bits. Please contact Biante for availability.
About the Ford EB Falcon… “VICTORY in the annual Sandown endurance classic eluded Dick Johnson for many years, since the mid-1970s in fact, however he and long-time teammate John Bowe finally conquered the 500-kilometre race in 1994 aboard their #17 Shell-FAI Racing Ford Falcon EB.
The victory was also special given it was the beginning of a unique endurance double as Johnson and Bowe also went on that year to win the Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst, becoming the first combination in 10 years (since Peter Brock and Larry Perkins in 1984) to win the Sandown 500/Bathurst 1000 double.”

sadly along with many other Biante and Classic’s models, these all look pretty horrendous and very inaccurate.. annoys me to my core that an Australian die-cast company simply cannot make Australian car models accurately.
