The V8 Sleuth Podcast

Show Notes

Lovers of 1:18 scale diecast model cars gather around – the Diecast Detective is back!

Episode two of the Mini Metal Podcast, powered by the Diecast Detective, focuses on the model cars from the 1980s and ‘90s Bathurst 1000 classics.

Examining what’s hot, what’s not, what’s selling, and what’s not, this is a fascinating look into an era of the sport that continues to capture the imagination of race fans.

The value of some of these cars is seriously impressive, proving that diecasts are more than a hobby; they can be a serious investment.

The Diecast Detective has done the homework on an ever-changing marketplace, with Aaron Noonan bringing his unique insights from two epic decades of the Great Race.
