Para todos os apaixonados desta ilustre casa decidi partilhar com vocês uma loja (se é que se pode chamar loja) que descobri há umas semanas dedicada a miniaturas das melhores marcas assim como memorabilia.
Os preços são proibitivos na maioria dos casos, mas são modelos feitos em pequena série (geralmente no máximo 10 unidades) e em muitos casos é usado fibra de carbono e material igual ao carro originial. Deixo algumas fotos dos modelos mais notáveis em exposição (não são poucos).
