Discover the Miniatures JournalDiscover the world of Model cars from other brands
As a car enthusiast and collector for many years, I have built up an exceptional collection of Model cars from other brands , bringing together the little-known gems and secret manufacturers of the global automotive industry. This unique selection allows you to discover rare and fascinating models from brands that are sometimes forgotten but have left their mark on their era with their audacity and innovation.
A specialist dealer in automotive diversity
As a passionate dealer, I offer you a carefully chosen selection of model cars from other brands that reflect the richness and diversity of the global automobile industry. My collection, regularly updated, favors models in 1/43rd scale , the reference scale for demanding collectors, while also offering remarkable pieces in 1/24th and 1/18th scale for lovers of striking details, as well as some models in HO 1/87th scale.
Each Model presented corresponds exactly to my current stock, with generally one to two copies available per model. This approach guarantees the authenticity of the offer and avoids disappointments related to stock shortages. The collection is constantly evolving according to my discoveries and arrivals, thus offering a constantly renewed experience for visitors.
A journey through the confidential brands of the automobile industry
This collection of other brands invites you to explore the fascinating world of lesser-known but equally exciting manufacturers. You will discover Spyker Model cars , these Dutch jewels combining luxury and performance, or the daring creations of Koenigsegg , the Swedish manufacturer of revolutionary supercars.
Fans of exceptional vehicles will also be able to admire Pagani models, these Italian works of art where craftsmanship meets high technology, as well as the British Noble creations, symbols of automotive engineering in its purest form. The collection is also enriched by models from historic manufacturers such as Duesenberg , witnesses to the golden age of the American automobile.
The Fascinating History of Alternative Brands
Other car brands often represent the most exciting chapters in automotive history. These manufacturers, sometimes short-lived, were able to mark their era with their avant-garde vision or their artisanal approach to car manufacturing. From the Belle Époque to the 2000s, these brands contributed to enriching the world's automotive heritage.
Some of these brands emerged in specific historical contexts, such as the interwar manufacturers who sought to democratize the automobile, or contemporary supercar brands that constantly push the boundaries of performance and design. Others have managed to preserve their artisanal know-how in an industrial world, creating vehicles in small series intended for the most demanding connoisseurs.
Automotive Anecdotes and Curiosities
The world of other brands is full of fascinating stories and technical curiosities. Did you know that Koenigsegg, now recognized as one of the most innovative supercar manufacturers, was founded by Christian von Koenigsegg when he was only 22 years old, inspired by a Norwegian animated film? Or that Spyker, resurrected in the early 2000s, has its roots in a century-old Dutch company that originally made coaches and airplanes?
These alternative brands have often pioneered technologies that are now widely available. Pagani, for example, was one of the first manufacturers to master the use of carbon fiber in automobile construction, creating vehicles that were as light as they were strong. These innovations, initially reserved for an elite few, gradually influenced the entire automotive industry.
Complete your Model collection with these rare gems
Model cars from other brands occupy a special place in the world of car collecting. They allow enthusiasts to discover and own models that they might never have the opportunity to see in real life, as some of these cars are so rare and exclusive. These Models are precious testimonies to the audacity and creativity of manufacturers often unknown to the general public.
For experienced collectors, these models represent an opportunity to enrich their collection with original pieces that stand out from more common productions. They perfectly complement collections focused on traditional marque brands, bringing an additional cultural and historical dimension. Concept cars or racing cars from these alternative brands offer unique perspectives on the evolution of automotive design and technology.
These Models also appeal to novices curious to discover lesser-known aspects of the automobile. They are an excellent gateway to the world of collecting, allowing you to acquire remarkable models without necessarily limiting yourself to the most popular brands. The diversity of eras and styles represented offers a rich panorama of the evolution of the global automobile industry.
The perfect gift idea for car enthusiasts
A Model car from other brands makes an original and thoughtful gift for any car lover. Whether for a birthday, Father's Day, or Christmas, these models surprise with their originality and ability to spark curiosity. Giving a Model Pagani Zonda or a Noble M600 is a way of sharing a passion for innovation and automotive excellence.
These gifts allow you to discover little-known automotive worlds, open up fascinating conversations about automotive history, and demonstrate a special attention to the recipient's tastes. For experienced collectors, these models often represent missing pieces they never dared to hope to find.

Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures
Why do we find so many different brands in the same model car collection?
Collectors appreciate the diversity of brands because each car manufacturer has its own unique history and iconic models. Combining Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, or rarer brands creates a rich collection that chronicles the evolution of the automobile across decades and continents.
What is the difference between 1/43 and 1/64 scales in model cars?
The 1/43 scale produces models approximately 10-12 cm long, offering more detail and often opening doors. The 1/64 scale (like Hot Wheels) produces cars measuring 6-7 cm, which are more compact and economical. The choice depends on the collection space and available budget.
Why do some model cars from different brands have the same manufacturer's reference?
Major manufacturers such as Bburago, Maisto, and Kyosho produce models for multiple car brands under their own series. For example, Bburago manufactures everything from Ferraris to Mercedes and Volkswagens, each retaining the authenticity of the original brand while bearing the signature of the model maker.
How can we explain the significant price variations between different brands of model cars?
The price depends on several factors: the rarity of the model, the quality of the finishes, the scale, the manufacturer, and sometimes official licenses. An officially licensed Ferrari model will cost more than a generic reproduction, and premium brands like AUTOart or Minichamps charge higher prices than mainstream brands.
Are there any model cars of defunct car brands?
Absolutely! Many model car manufacturers perpetuate the memory of long-gone brands like Saab, Pontiac, Plymouth, or French manufacturers like Panhard. These models are particularly sought after by nostalgic collectors and often constitute valuable pieces in a diverse collection.
