Nissan Fairlady Z (Z31) / 300ZX by ignition model

This is one of the last ignition models arrived from Japan for this year, and as usual, the level of detail is very impressive indeed! It is a very nice addition to my collection, especially when displayed next to the Z32 model I already got by ignition (earlier post). The specific model has lowered suspension, 16" wheels, front lip spoiler, rear spoiler, large-diameter single muffler and Recaro seats.

Toyota Celica 1600GTV (TA22) by ignition model

It is pretty much obvious that ignition models are by far my favourite ones!!! My contact in Japan was able to get me the limited edition version of the Toyota Celica 1600GTV (TA22) model, with only 120 pcs made. The specific model has a carbon fiber bonnet, lowered suspension and cambered (onikyan 鬼キャン) SSR type 14” wheels, front and rear spoilers, as well as front and rear fenders in matt black.

Toyota Celsior 1989 model by Hi-Story

This Toyota Celsior C-Ttype 1989 model by Hi-Story is the second Celsior model added to my collection (earlier post) and I opted for the White Pearl Mica Toning G version. Unfortunately, photos don't do justice to the colour. Hi-Story models are handmade and for its price, I am very happy with it!

Mitsubishi Galant Σ Hardtop 1984 brochure

Between 1976 and 1987 over three generations, the Mitsubishi Galant sedan sold in Japan was suffixed with the "Σ" badge. This a brochure of the 5th-gen Galant Σ Hardtop (E15A型), definitely one of the most beautiful Galant models produced.

Toyota Celsior F Package 2004 model by WiT's

The Lexus LS wasn't available in Japan until 2006. Until then, a domestic version badged as Toyota Celsior (トヨタ・セルシオ) was sold in Japan. This is the third-gen Celsior / LS (F30型) and the actual model colour is called White Pearl Crystal Shine. Although the photos cannot show the beauty of the colour, in real life, it is very impressive indeed!

Mitsubishi GTO twin turbo MR 1998 model by WiT's

Mitsubishi GTO (aka 3000GT) is one of my favourite Japanese sports cars from the 90s and WiT's produced two models of it. The first one was the GTO twin turbo 1990 model, while the other one was the GTO twin turbo MR 1998 model. Unfortunately, my absolute favourite version was the 1994–1997 Z15A, but since I couldn't find it as a model, I opted for the GTO twin turbo MR 1998 one.

Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT-B model by WiT's

This Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT-B 1997 model is definitely going to look very nice along with my other Legacy models (earlier post)!!!

Honda Civic Type-R EP3 model by WiT's

The Honda Civic Type-R EP3 model was the only Civic Type-R missing from my collection, so now with the arrival of this model, it is complete!

Toyota Land Cruiser 70 model by WiT's

Back in 2014, I asked my contact in Japan to buy for me a few WiT's models, but it wasn't until this week that I arranged to have them delivered. It was a good thing that I bought them back then, since WiT's closed in March 2016. That's really a shame, as their models were among my favorite ones, and also, they had planned some very nice models for the future that I intended to buy (e.g. Lexus LX 570 2015年型, Lexus RX 450h F SPORT 2015年型, Lexus GS F 2015年型 & Mazda Eunos Cosmo 20B Type SX 1994年型 ).

The production of the Toyota Land Cruiser J70 stopped back in 2004, but in 2014, Toyota decided to put it into production for just one year (earlier post)! That was for celebrating the 30th anniversary of the model. WiT's released two versions, a van and a pickup. Although I was after the van version, I finally got the pickup one... Still a nice model to have in my collection though!
