| Toyota's 1:5 model collection
Wouldn't you love to have one of these in your living room?  Small wonders | Toyota UK news, reviews, video and pictures Quote:
The Toyota Automobile Museum in Nagakute city, Aichi prefecture, is reckoned to house one of the finest collections of cars in Japan.
As part of the celebrations for Toyota’s 75th anniversary, the museum has put on a special exhibition that displays an army of 50 one-fifth scale historical models together with an equal number of full-size cars cherry-picked from the manufacturer’s immense back catalogue.
These incredible scale creations were built by expert in-house modelers at the Toyota Design Center and borrowed specifically (being carried with great care, as you can see below) for the occasion.
As they are usually kept in a secure, highly confidential area, chances to see these scale models in public are extremely rare, even for Toyota employees.
...
Now open to the public, the exhibition will conclude 6 May.

This is about a month old, but I just read about it today and didn't see any threads or posts about it.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
