Just bought this one in a Carrefour-hypermarket for 3,20 euros. I loved the color and the british plates are great too! For a Burago model it's pretty acurate.

Citroen Xsara WRC #4 Monte Carlo Rally diorama set with tent 1:43 Ixo Altaya
This is the newest addition for my collection. A nice diorama stand of the Citroën Xsara WRC.
The car is pretty nice with special addition to the details. the windscreen wipers eg. are nicely detailed and the disk breaks have been worked out. It is not possible to put the wheels on the car (I think) but the market is saturated with normal Xsara WRC's.
the tent is from hard plastic and the poles from metal. I have no idea what the ground plate is made from, but there is some weight to it which complements the nice quality of the piece.
the figures are made from metal and had a very nice paint job. overal this diorma is great value for money and it will be an Eye-catcher in your showcase.
The lot contains
Citroen Xsara - Rally Monte Carlo #4 – Carlos Sainz
5 x Separate wheels
Car stand
Tent & Cast resin base
2 x Suitcases
8 x figures - Mechanics, team principle & driver

Citroën Xm - Neo scalemodels 1/43
My favorite Citroën is the Citroën XM, as I didn’t have a 1/43 XM yet I was hesitating about getting this Citroën XM break from Neo scale models.
Neo has already has a XM break, but it’s green. this pacticular model is 1 of the 300 Grey Citroën XM breaks specialy made by Neo for ModelCarWorld.de
I was hesitating about getting this one because it’s quite expensive. almost 60 euro’s chipping not included. In my opinion that’s a lot of money for a 1/43 miniature.
on the other hand it’s my favorite car, and it’s an addition to my history of Citroën collection as well as to my Citroën break collection. I finaly decided to buy this one and I can tell you all that it’s magnificent. I mean, if it werent for the 1/43th scale, one could say this is a real car. the level of detailing is brilliant. it comes in a very nice box too.

Citroën metropolis - Provence moulage 1/43
In my opinion the best looking concept car from Citroën ever. Meet the Citroën metropolis, presented during the autoshow in Shanghai.
With its length of 5.3 meters, this concept is comparable with a mercedes S-class.
This car would be propelled a hybrid engine.
2 electric motors (55hp in the front, 95hp in the back) would enable it to travel around town and just to show of their would be another 2.0l V6 engine delivering 272 hp. Like every good Citroën this one would have hydrolic suspension.

Citroën SM - Norev 1/43
One of the car missing in my "Citroëns History" showcase was the Citroën SM. a superb looking car with a masserati engine. To fill this gap I bought this one from Norev 1/43. it's nice considering it's age, but I don't like how the hood flows in the headlights.

Citroën Berlingo - Vitesse 1/43
A model I have been looking for quite some time is this Citroën Berlingo. It's not easy to find a family Berlingo, most of them have 'Post' logo's or something similar. This particular model is one from Vitesse 1/43, this means it's beautifully detailed but the decals come loosse fast.

Citroën 5CV - Norev 1/43
It has been a while since I ordered this car, I was afraid it was lost in transport. My fear wasn't over when I got the package... it didn't weight anything. I quickly opened the thing to find this little beauty inside.
The Citroën 5CV, à 1/43 model from Norev. This miniature is easily 40 years old and it's a very rare model nowadays. It is mint, mainly beacuse it's almost 100 percent plastic, and it looks amazing. I immediatly put it on the kitchen scale... 11g!!
