Advertisement Transcript: Start your personal collection of legendary sports cars. Acquire this magnificent series of diecast metal miniatures, accurately scaled to just 18 times smaller than the originals. Jaguar, Bugatti, Lancia, Mercedes, Ferrari-the names live on as legends in automotive history. These are the cars men dream about. But rare is the individ- ual who has ever owned-or could afford to own-one of these magnificent ma- chines. Now, the old world craftsmen at Burago of Italy have reproduced these classics in miniature, so that anyone with a love of fine automobiles can have his own personal collection of historic sports cars. Incredible detailing distinguishes these fine collectibles. Burago's "miniatures" are not quite that miniature. Each is about 10" long and weighs over a pound! Their large size per- mits intricate workmanship and detail that has to be seen to be believed. For example, on the 1962 Ferrari GTO, you can pop open the hood (after unlocking the latches) and inspect a real- istic engine with chromed carburetors. Open the trunk and you'll find a spare tire in the well. Doors open, too, to reveal a finished interior-chromed hand brake and toggle switches, moveable stickshift, complete dashboard instrumentation. And the steering wheel linkage really works, turning spoked rubber wheels. The Ferrari GTO is made of heavy diecast metal, finished in bright red lus- trous enamel. Fine plastic detailing, such as molded in headlamps, gas cap and door handles add to the realism of the model. The other sports cars in the series boast similar features. Each is assembled by hand-a rare tribute to the original that inspired it. And each is eminently collect- ible to be displayed with pride as a source of continuing enjoyment to its owner. Start your collection now, at a special price and a no obligation offer. You'd expect to pay $25, $30, or more for collectibles of this quality.
