Classic toy cars auctioned | This is Hampshire (UK)
Classic toy cars up for auction (From This is Hampshire):
"The stunning die-cast models are only one-eighteenth of the real cars’ size, but feature the same leather seats, windscreen wipers and windows.

This comfortably eclipsed the previous record paid for a classic car, in Italy a year earlier, where an early 1960s Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold at public auction for $12.2 million.
