Hopefully it comes out better, I can do a close up next.

All of these cars were stuck in their boxes in the garage for the past several years, some of them since the last millennium...

Edit: sample with close ups

This is the newest addition to the collection, just got it a couple of days ago. Still trying to locate the green one too.

Must be great to finally see them all displayed. I am in the same situation, my collection has never entirely been displayed and are currently all in a closet, some going on 15 years.

I've not found a solution I like yet, think custom displays might be the way to go. I tried Ikea glass cabinets (I forgot the name), but didn't really like them and I would need 8-10 of these cabinets to fit all the models.

None of the IKEA cabinets work, they are either too big or too small.
The ones you have are nice, but I could never convince me to buy them, they are not big enough on the outside, but way too big and spaced out shelving on the inside.

So I decided to scout for commercial grade cabinets from stores that are closing out, or even garage sales.


In the last couple of years, I kept my eyes peeled really hard and looked around, got lucky a couple of times people getting rid of them on the side of the road....

Repurposed and refurbished them, by customizing them my way. The wood portion are either disgusting or rotten away, so I would just build it back better going to the hardware store.

Like I said, this is not an overnight project, it took years, the first cabinet was assembled a couple years back.

Just got the second over the summer.

Your insane drool worthy Porsche collection deserves to be displayed ;)

Really love the teal and dark green from Norev.

By the way, I have not researched or checked, but from gut feel,the reason Norev is called no Norev is because it sounds like "Nos Reves", which is French for "Our (childhood) dreams".


Really love that company and the amount of cars it produces, and I also really like Ottomobile and GT spirits, which are all French based companies.
Edit: minichamps is also French based.
Corgi, Kyosho, and Solido are, now belonging to Norev

I never really stopped to think what Norev meant, but I like your take on it better than what I found online. Which is that "Norev" is "Véron" backwards, the surname of the brothers who founded the company.

Norev is steadily becoming my favorite brand recently. I am impressed with the GT3s they have done but also their recent Porsche 964 line, which are far and away the best Porsche models in the last year in my opinion.
