Tyco Nisseki Porsche 962 #100.
Yet another Le mans style racer and this is an absolute beauty by Tyco.
Purchased recently from the U.S and one of the harder Tyco Porsche's to find, it has eluded me for a while and thankfully I found one in excellent condition.
Tyco made some beautiful cars and I preferred some Tyco models more than Aurora AFX simply because of their styling.
Collectors and racers alike may argue over the merits and history of the Aurora AFX range but Tyco were much maligned for no sound reason really.
I love the Tyco range from this era and still collect them to this day.

Little may you know this...
Submitted by Aussie Ho on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 06:36.Dan. Little may you know this, but the current background photo for the site is a group shot of some of my cars. Ray asked me to shoot some group photos so I haphazardly arranged some of my collection and came up with that background shot. I have over 1000 cars now and setting up a group shot is understandably very difficult if not impossible with all the cars but if there is something you require specifically for reference purposes, please let me know and I will oblige.

Tyco HP7 chassis
Submitted by Aussie Ho on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 06:43.Serge. It amazes me everyday how much cash I've spent collecting all of this stuff !
But with regards to the chassis, it is actually the Tyco HP7 chassis with grey rims. Quite different to the 440X2 chassis.
