REVIEW: AUTOart Pagani Zonda R

I purchased this Pagani Zonda R by AUTOart back in February 2011, it was highly anticipated by me and many others collectors at the time. AUTOart had really never ventured into this territory of extreme details at $200 plus opening price point. In retro spec this may have been the birth of what is nearing the norm for today.

I collect a lot of presentation cars, maybe its Continue Reading...

REVIEW: AUTOart 1993 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti #8

Words and photos courtesy of Frank Lemire When one thinks of Italian racing cars most will first think of Ferrari but in truth no Italian manufacturer has had more success in more different aspects of motor racing than Alfa Romeo. The first of the racing Alfa hit the track in 1911, their first victory was in 1913 and Alfa Continue Reading...
