Exclamation Top of the line 928 diecast's

Is anyone familiar with these diecast's,

They look nice, but that seem awfully high to me.

Yup, I won the bid on a set like this a year or two ago. Wasn't as high priced as these, but I got lucky and was the only bidder.

They are an impressive set, compared to most other diecasts of our cars.
These were a limited edition and you don't see them to often. I don't know how much they cost originally from the Porsche dealers. I doubt they were cheap though.

How much are they worth now? Well... whatever a collector is willing to pay!

Those were commissioned by Porsche to commemorate the Front Engined Water Cooled series. I bought a set from Porsche and they are in nice detail, except for the 928 of course. Since in 1990 a 5sp is a GT not an S4, and it has S4 wheels instead of the Design 90's, of course I fixed mine by taking the CS wheels off the 944 S2 and putting them on the 928GT.

Now that's attention to detail!

But... now does the 944 S2 have S4 wheels?

I have this model of the 914. Limited edition number 1564 of 3500. Very detailed and great quality. I am however confused as to why they decided to chrome the entire exterior ...

Those are made by Minichamps. I have the 928 model in red and some other color.
