7/03/09 UPDATE:
'1965- Jim Clark & Team Lotus -
The UK Races by William Taylor' The
latest release from Coterie Publishing is an in-depth photo essay
of the cars and drivers competing in a complete season of British
motorsport. Detailing every major class and formula, saloons
and single-seaters, it sees the legendary drivers such as Stewart,
Hill, Gurney, Brabham, Surtees and McLaren competing hard against
the formitable talent of Team Lotus and works supported drivers
Jimmy Clark, Mike Spence, Jack Sears, Sir John Whitmore, Pedro
Rodriguez, Brian Hart, Peter Revson and Ray Parsons.
Copiously illustrated with nearly
200 hitherto unseen photographs from the Peter Darley Archive,
the book not only captures the unique atmosphere of the time
but also lists the race results for every class in which Jim
Clark competed and records the thrills and spills as they unfolded
for Colin Chapman's record breaking Team Lotus in 1965.
With new contributions from
Jack Sears, Sally Swart (Stokes), Bob Dance and David Hobbs,
'1965: Jim Clark & Team Lotus - The UK Races' is not just
an invaluable record of Jimmy's early life and times but also
a uniquely colorful depiction of an important period in British
motor racing history. One which like many other Coterie publications
is sure to become a coveted collectors item.
Available late August.
$49.95
plus shipping. Reserve HERE.
6/29/09 UPDATE:

little 1/18 scale Ferrari 156 Dino 'Sharknose' is now available.

$318.95 plus shipping. Reserve HERE.
6/25/09 UPDATE:

Print commemorates the 1-2 finish in this year's Monaco Grand

6/22/09 UPDATE:
We will be going to 'Summer Hours'
on Saturdays, beginning this weekend. Check the chart at the
top left corner of this page for specific dates.
6/19/09 UPDATE:
Yesterday, Minichamps announced
that they will release 1/18 scale models of the Peugeot 908 HDI
FAPs that ended Audi's long domination of the 24 Hours of LeMans
last weekend. Four different cars (the three 'factory' entries
along wih Henri Pescarolo's number 17) are scheduled for release
'4th Quarter 2009' according to the announcement.The Peugeots
are priced at $99.95 each but you can save 10% by placing an
advance order HERE
by Friday, June 26.

book and DVD announcements. Click HERE.
SOLD OUT!  SOLD OUT!
 6/16/09 UPDATE: Spark's latest release is the final Group 7 car
produced by McLaren Cars, the McLaren M20, as driven to victory
at Mosport by Denis Hulme in 1972. Denny won again at Watkins
Glen a few weeks later but it was to be Team McLaren's final
Can Am win as Roger Penske's Porsche 917/10 in the hands of George
Follmer and Mark Donohue ended McLaren's 5 year domination of
the Canadian American Challenge Cup series.
You may have heard Bob Varsha's
interview with Author AJ Baime during last weekend's coverage
of the 24 Hours of LeMans. Baime's new book tells the story of
the Ford v. Ferrari rivalry in this great race after Enzo Ferrari
rejected Henry Ford, II's offer to buy his company in the early
1960s. A fascinating story.
In stock $26.00. Order HERE.

6/10/09 UPDATE:
Amalgam has introduced two stunning
1/8 scale replicas of two iconic racing cars from two different
eras:
On the left, Juan Manuel Fangio's
1954 French Grand Prix winning Mercedes-Benz W196 Streamliner.
On the right, the Gordon Murray
designed McLaren F1 in LM configuration. Of the 106 McLaren F1s
built, only 5 were prepared to LM specs (legend had it that the
Sultan of Brunei bought them all), equaling the number of McLaren
F1 GTRs that finished the 1995 LeMans 24 Hour Race - one of which
was victorious. All five of these ultra special McLaren LMs were
painted in 'Papaya Orange' in memory and tribute to company founder
Bruce McLaren.
As an added bonus, Amalgam will
include a Gordon Murray signed copy of Doug Nye's excellent book
on the McLaren F1, 'Driving Ambition', with every model.
Order your model from TMC and
we'll add a 'factory issue' McLaren pin set featuring all 3 of
the McLaren's designations: 'F1', 'LM' and 'GTR' .
Each Limited Edition Amalgam
masterpiece is priced at $5,300.00 plus shipping. A small
quantity of each is in the US for immediate delivery.
You can reserve the Mercedes
HERE,
the McLaren HERE
or call Paul at 800.722.8630 or 630.515.1440.

6/5/09 UPDATE:
We're very impressed with Spark's
1/43 scale Jim Clark Lotus 25, seen above. It's about time someone
did a quality diecast of Clark's 1963 World Championship winner
and one of the most elegant Grand Prix cars ever built. Now in
stock for $59.95 plus shipping. Reserve HERE.

Donohue Biographer Michael Argetsinger
signing books at The Motorsport Collector.
5/26/09 UPDATE:
Back from a weekend in Indianapolis
where we participated in the National Auto Racing Memorabilia
Show Friday and Saturday and caught our 40th consecutive Indianapolis
500 on Sunday. Looks like my streak may end next year so I can
play proud Papa at a commencement ceremony a couple thousand
miles away. We'll see how the schedules play out.
Our book signing with Michael
Argetsinger on May 13 drew a full house of Donohue fans ignoring
the tornado warnings and major thunderstoms in the Chicago area.
Our last signed copy of 'Mark Donohue: Technical Excellence at
Speed' sold earlier today but we hope to hook up with Michael
one more time this summer.
We've set it up so you can reserve
a book from our next signing, or get a copy sent out to you right
away. Click HERE
for a signed copy, or HERE
for immediate delivery. $39.95 plus shipping either way.

 4/29/09 UPDATE:
Sorry for the lack of updates in
this column lately, but I've tried to keep the left side - the
'Just In' side - of the page up to date along with the 'Just
In' section of Online
Shopping in the mean time.
And, if you take advantage of
our regular Email
Updates, you can keep current on most things going on here
at TMC.
Lots of new arrivals to tell
you about this week, including the fourth 1/18
Porsche 901 (911) from CMC, this one a very good looking
shade of Blue ($318.95). 
Also on the die cast front,
a long awaited shipment of the 1955 LeMans winning Jaguar
D-Type in 1/12 scale arrived from Auto Art ($499.95).
Advance orders have been processed and a very small quantity
of this beautiful piece remains in stock for immediate delivery.
Our Michael
Argetsinger book signing is still 2 weeks away but we now
have copies of 'Mark
Donohue: Technical Excellence at Speed' in stock ($39.95)
for those of you who just can't wait. Just indicate 'ship immediately'

Clark Story / 1965 at Indianapolis DVD ($29.95), the

Posey Norris Eagle from Carousel 1 ($159.95) and a
very rare copy of John Wyer's autobiography 'The
Certain Sound'.
Coming next week: The 1/18

More in our next Email
Update.
 Coming April 21: 'Top
Gear 10: The Complete 10th Season'
($39.95)
4/9/09 UPDATE: Some say, it's the
best show on TV.
We can't disagree.
For the first time ever, the
BBC's top rated car show is now available on US Format DVD. This
3 disc set brings you all 10 episodes from Season 10 - that's
approximately 500 minutes of speed, laughter, challenges, and
banter starring a trio of presenters (hosts); Jeremy Clarkson,
Richard Hammond and James May (Captain Slow) and the silent speed
of the man(?) they call - The Stig.
If you're already a regular
viewer of 'Top Gear' on BBC America, you know what I'm talking
about. If you've never seen 'Top Gear', think of it as Monty
Python playing with Veyrons and Koenigseggs with a show budget
the size of Finland's.
Ever see a ToyBoata cross the
English Channel? Only on 'Top Gear'. Reserve your set HERE.
