Working in a model shop we get asked this question at all times by lady's trying to buy male relatives, partners or their children a particular die cast model.

We try to narrow the field firstly by asking their age. Any one older than 50 is generally keen on 1950/60s British classics like Jaguar mk2's, E-Type Jags, Aston Marten Db5's (Made famous by Sean Connery in James Bond movies) or MGB sports cars. Grandads tend to like E-Type jags again or earlier MGTC's. Men in their 20's to 30's enjoy Aston Martens and that means you can't go too far wrong with a DB9 or even a Bugatti Veyron. Anyone younger loves the expensive super cars. Ferrari springs to mind instantly but Lamborghinis, Mercedes and Porsche Models should not be forgotten.

Model Cars From Popular TV Show

There are many men on the market who follow the BBC Top Gear program and these guys love Pagini Zonda's, Bugatti Veyrons, Porsche GT's and Jeremy Clarkson's favourite the Aston Marten V8 Vanquish. This Christmas a number of super cars with a Stig figurine premiered by a diecast manufacturer called Minichamp and we were holding particularly popular with Top Gear enthusiasts.

Most models have opening doors, bonnets and boots however the quantity of detailing varies inside.
