NEW MORGAN EV3 ELECTRIC TRIKE

THE FUTURE OF DRIVING IS ELECTRIC, or at least that's how companies like Tesla and BMW see it. And now they are joined by this droolworthy delight from Morgan in the UK.

SALUTE TO ALL VICTIMS OF THE JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI

SMN comment

Our sympathies and best wishes go to all the victims and their families involved in this tremendous and still unfolding tragedy. 

Twitter messages from Kyosho

It was brought home to us when we read the Twitter messages from Kyosho of Japan, respected for all its excellent RC products, and admired at SMN especially for its excellent 1:18 scale cars. The latest news is that Kyosho will be closed until the 21 March, so our best wishes to all at the company, and we trust you can restart on schedule.

GORGEOUS CATERHAM SUPER 7 FROM KYOSHO

Kyosho is one of the very best 1:18 diecast makers out there, and among the latest releases is a very tasty Caterham Super 7. Kyosho’s S7 is available in two variants, including the yellow-nose version shown in the pictures above.

Detail is well up to Kyosho’s usual high standard, and for any S7 enthusiast - and if you have ever driven this lightweight British road-racer you're almost certainly a fan - the question, “to buy or not to buy”, is pretty much a no-brainer that has only one proper answer.

Both models are available on pre-order from various retail and online stores, including Motoring Miniatures here.
