From colourful toy cars to high precision collectors’ pieces, model vehicles cover a remarkable range and are far more than small-scale copies of the originals. Whether collected, played with or displayed, they captivate through their variety and precision.

Each model tells its own story, perhaps of past eras, of iconic vehicles or even of personal memories. In miniature, dream cars feel within reach, and complex designs and technologies become easier to understand. Model vehicles bridge the worlds of toys, craftsmanship and specialist collectibles.

So what lies behind the fascination of miniatures? Discover a big world in small scale, full of emotion, creativity and wonder.

Our MODEL VEHICLES Collection

What you see here is not a single collection, carefully curated by one person over many years, rather it is a coming together of many individual collections and perspectives to create a multi-voiced whole. Not a claim to completeness, but an exploration of the fascination of collecting itself. The result is a panorama of motivations, scales, materials and stories; what we present here is less “the collection”, than the act of collecting.
