Several years ago i bought my son a poster that i had on my wall when i was his age (11) and we decided to try and find the exact cars' models. And by exact i mean we want the same car number and everything. It has been a bit of a challenge and hoping others may have good suggestions on best places to source. We have already compomised on two of them in terms of the number on the side.
So far we have found 8, 6 of which we picked up at the museum in Stuttgart a couple weeks ago including the #40 GT. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Anyone else gone down this path?

Here is the poster

And the cars we found so far

So 6 of them came from the museum actually! Moby Dick and #23 came from this site:

a few places online might have more for you. Try Cartima or Selection RS You can also keep your eyes peeled on eBay, sometimes the rarer ones pop up. I'd aim to stick to Spark or Make-Up, Minichamps is pretty good sometimes. Auto-Art are good, but don't have much of a selection.

I've got a pretty good set, I've had to pare back a bit as I didn't want to have my office l; look like a hoarder.

Spark makes that one

https://www.ebay.com/itm/374418744639


Really, my guess is that Spark makes most if not all of the cars you're looking for. Just jump onto google and type "1/43 Spark Porsche ________" and you'll probably get a few hits, but if you're getting a bunch at once it might be prudent to buy from a single source to save on shipping.

I couldn't find the Al Holbert IMSA #14 on the website.

I've been looking for that for a while in 1/18 scale.

That poster has been hanging in my house since 1990!
Thanks for the links to Holberts 962 I’ve been trying to find that in 1/18.. He’s one of my heroes.
Cheers.

I had it my room as a boy now my son has the same. I am not entirely sure who this is actually for lol.

Al Holbert was a hero for sure. So capable on every front. Here is a shot of him i took in the 80s at lime rock. My dad is right behind him in the glasses and behind the rope.

There was a guy selling cases like these on eBay, I sent him dimensions for a custom one and he made it. It was surprisingly economical.
