This diecast model Ford Shelby GR-1 Concept (Aluminium Bodywork) is Silver and features working steering, suspension, wheels and also opening bonnet with engine, doors.
Autoart is striving to achieve a new standard by launching its first 1:18 die-cast model with a polished aluminium body in the form of the Ford Shelby GR-1 concept car. The goal is to achieve the same quality of finish as that on the actual concept car.
The final polished aluminium body is deliberately not coated with a clear protective layer in order to simulate the bare aluminium texture of the concept car. As with the real car, the surfaces will oxidize at a very slow rate under indoor conditions and the gloss will decrease slightly after one or two years. However, the shiny finish can easily be restored by simple hand-buffing using metal polish compounds such as Brasso, Autosol, Pennibrite or mag-wheel polishing cream. Like any precious sterling silverware, the polished surfaces require occasional maintenance to retain their glossy texture.
1:18 scale (approx. 25cm / 9.8in long) - made by AUTOart.
