Yes, in the 007 Collection that has Minichamps, the model from the film 'Diamonds are Forever'.

So are there two vision of the Diamonds Are Forever Mustang? A Minichamps and and an IXO casting? I see that Greenlight now has a similar looking '71 Mustang, I wonder if it is their own diecast, or borrowed from another company.

On my database as one of only 12 US Fords in my collection (and in a storage crate hidden away) I have listed a 1:43 red '71 Mustang Mach 1 in Corgi repro style box bought in 2002 for 3GBP. Bought because I like the shape, it was a decent representation, well finished and cheap. It is plain Jane without contrasting Mach 1 decals.
It is from the "Century of Cars" series so is a partworks type model using the 'Corgi' name as a marketing 'hook' and an Solido/IXO/Altaya mould. Easily found on ebay.

Might be the same model as the 007 PW.

[Keko]

Minichamps has it´s own Bond Mustang Mach 1, and it´s a different model than the PW 007 Collection, which seems to be an Ixo or UH as that PW collection has model from the 2 manufacturers.

-PW Mach 1, unkwon manufacturer, maybe Ixo. Ref nº BONDCOL013

I hope it´s clearer now...

I know, I was referring to the 'Corgi'-labeled model.

Looks like Greenlight has their own casting.



and for the sake of completeness, a close-up of the Minichamps

[DeadCanDanceR]

That Greenlight looks nice!

[IFHP]

Thanks Keko. I 'm surprised at how good the Greenlight model looks. I've just added it to my list!

Comparison of 1969 Boss 302 by 43rd Street Collectibles and 1970 Boss 429 by Spark. Even with the lose trim, the Spark is a superior model.

Inspired by Keko's post above, I bought the Greenlight Mach I.

Didn't quite get the grille right, but the rest of the is surprisingly good.

The yellow Minichamps models has the edge over the Greenlight with the shape of the grille.

Ride height on the Greenlight seems too high. Are the wheels bigger than the Minichamps?

Mustang Mach I (1971) Comparison by Michael, on Flickr

Both well detailed at the rear, but I think the Greenlight is a little better (the backup light is a nice touch).

Mustang Mach I (1971) Comparison by Michael, on Flickr

The Greenlight appears much larger than the the Minichamps, but I think that may be due to height, as the length and width appear to be nearly identical.

Mustangs by Neo -- filling in big gaps in the collection. They are also a little oversized compared to the others.

My Mustang collection now consist of 17 models, and there isn't much out there now that I still want. (Trax makes RHD 2016 Mustang, but it is too expensive for what it is).

The collection now has a representative of all nine generations -- which is great.

Ford Mustangs (1973) by Premium X by Michael, on Flickr

In 2015 Premium X posted this picture of mostly 1973 Mustangs on their Facebook page. I was excited, but nothing happened to the point that I figured that they had changed their mind. Then in April 2018 these models started showing up on the sites of Chinese e-bay sellers. So now I have one and it's pretty nice.

That is rather nice Michael. What other colours are you getting....I like the look of the yellow and black version too.

[GarageOnAWall]

Might be in the minority here, but really wish someone would make a Mustang II 'King Cobra' in 1:43. I already have the NEO notchback in green, but a sportier version would be a nice contrast in telling this 'dark' period in the Mustang saga. BB
