Lotus 72D 1:8 Model
When it comes to beautiful scale model kits, Pocher is one of the top names out there. The company has been recreating some of the world’s most beautiful cars and bikes in miniature form since 1966. If you’re a keen hobbyist, then one of its incredible self-assembly kits is definitely for you. How about this stunning one of the Lotus 72D, which measures 1:8 scale? Containing over 800 parts – made from metal, rubber, textiles and more – you can while away hours, days, even weeks constructing the car that Brazilian legend Emerson Fittipaldi took to victory in the 1972 British GP. Wearing the timeless John Player Special livery, this is a fine centrepiece to any collection.
£719.99
Ferrari SF21 Steering Wheel
First off, a disclaimer: do not attempt to plug this into your games console or bung it on your Vauxhall Viva. It’s far too nice for that. So nice, in fact, that super high-end model company Amalgam is only making 99 of them, and we know for a fact that they’re so good that even Ferrari itself has bought a few. You’d have thought they’d just keep the originals! Either way, these are beyond good.
£4995
Icons of F1 calendar
That’s right, the famous Motor Sport calendar is back! And no self-respecting fan of racing should head into 2023 without one of these on their wall. This year the theme is Icons of F1, with each month celebrating a different hero of the sport: from January with Jim Clark to a festive date with Graham Hill, all in large-scale, 59x42cm format. £32.99
Von Trips replica helmet
This exact replica of Wolfgang von Trips’ crash helmet takes some beating. We say ‘exact’ because it is, being made by Bill Vero of Everoak. Not enough? Well, how about the fact it’s been part of the Ferrari: Under the Skin exhibition at the Design Museum in London and around the world over the last two years… £1495
Williams FW14b poster
We love a bit of retro styling, and this officially licensed poster from Williams has the lot. From the gloriously old-school font to the concentric circle pattern that dominates the main design. Oh, and there’s a 1992 FW14B on there too, one of the greatest grand prix cars of all time.
