Post subject:  Bugatti T57G Le Mans Winner 1937

This is the Le Mans winner from 1937
the base of the model is by Ixo & their Le Mans Winners collection
altough mine is from a "cheaper" line
before they where released under Ixo & in the shops there was a french magazine series that brought out the LM winners together with the model for around €15.
the model delivered was the Ixo but with a bit less detail & afterwards it came out again better finished in an Ixo box to justify the price difference

Indeed, I have the Ixo version. I believe it is just the wheels that make the difference.

Ixo models are very nice, and much cheaper than many equivalents...

I mean also that the models of IXO look better

But IXO made an error here. #1 is not the chassis #57455

yes, Ixo's are better detailed & more then double the price
in general because of the higher standard i preffer to get the Ixo then
but here there also came a small "magazine" with it
so bought this version then instead

Spark Models? Or a built up Le Mans Miniatures? (basicly the same)

The magazine that came with the Ixo, is it any good?
