1991 Jaguar XJR-14 - LeMans test car
MOST Wanted...........
SPARK: 18S034.
Jaguar XJR-4 LeMans test 1991.
Status: LONG SOLD OUT....rare!
This car represents one of the greatest stories at the 24hr of LeMans.
Designed by Ross Brawn and built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing for Jaguar this masterpiece is not very well known.
The car never achieved success at LeMans for which it was designed, however, three chassis were built and used for 1991: 591, 691, & 791. In the early part of the 1991 World Sportscar Championship season the XJR-14 was in a league of its own and won the Championship in 1991.
In 1991 Mazda won the 24hrs of LeMans with the rotary engined 787B. From 1992 Mazda attempted to repeat their success.............with TWR built (but slightly longer wheel base) XJR-14 chassis' design known as the Mazda MXR-01.
What makes this car extra special is the fact that is was lost in the TWR factory after 1991 until Porsche decided to support Reinhold Joest with a 1996 entry to LeMans. Joest acquired chassis TWR-791 and with Porsche supplying the engine and transmission the car was transformed into a spyder (open-top).
Wearing Joest's lucky number 7, the now TWR-WSC95-001 raced to victory at the 1996 24hrs of LeMans. One year later, Joest and his lucky 7 would win overall AGAIN!

1981 Porsche 936-81-003 - LeMans winner # 11
1981 Porsche 936-81
Drivers: Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell
Car # 11, Porsche Systems AG - Jules livery
Chassis: 003
Winner 1981 24hrs of LeMans
Status: available in 1/43.....no known availability in 1/18 or 1/12
The 936-81 was a revision to the twice winning (1977 & 1979) 936-76 and 936-78. The 1981 car maintained much of the aerodynamic modifications as seen on the 2nd placed chassis 001 of the 1978 LeMans car that was driven by Wollek, Barth and Ickx. However, this was now 1981 and chassis 003 served as the test bed for the twin turbocharged flat six engine and manual transmission that would debut in the all conquering 1982 Porsche 956-002 in the now iconic Rothmans Livery.

2016 Apollo Arrow
2016 Apollo Arrow
Status: Pre-order availability (June 2018 release) in 1/18 by TopMarques
The successor to Roland Gumpert's astonishing Apollo. The company changed ownership in 2016, now being Apollo Automobil GmbH. However Roland Gumpert again produced a devastating hypercar; in his own words, "The Arrow is truly magnificent – it is the perfect combination of German engineering and automotive art,"
The Apollo Arrow is visually stunning with 1,000hp off of a twin turbocharged 4.0l V8 derived off of Audi's shelves.
