My collection was complete 
but now it is with this Alfa Romeo which won the 1930 Mille Miglia driven by Tazio Nuvolari:
To make up for the current lack of display space I also got this showcase for my desk:

Obligatory 'Is that a Bugatti Veyron'?
(Or a type 35?)

New wheels for my old dog of a bike. Rode the others off the bike it was like a comedy sketch riding it to the shop all buckled and wobbling.

The only Connaught I've seen is what appears to been an old model by Merit:

You probably won't find one but with patience you never know. Have you tried looking for a painting or a print?
Good luck with your search.

It is Type 35 but modified to look like a Type 51 which won the Belgian Grand Prix in 1931 driven by William Grover-Williams.

That one is the CMC collector showcase for 1:24 and 1:18 models from:
http://www.jacksonsmodels.co.uk/cmc-a004-display-case-with-wooden-base-perspex-lid-118-scale.ir
Model details:
Wooden base:330 (l) x 170 (w) x 25 (h) mm
Do a search for "CMC-A004-Display-Case" on ebay. Came next day timed delivery.
It is expensive but is top quality. You can get much cheaper ones for as little as £8.99.

Love the die casts cosimo very jealous as I know how expensive they are
Plasma, I'd love all those models and I don't mind making them but I don't have the time or skill to paint them up properly. 
Thank you so much - I've ordered one of the illustrations and I'll search for that model. Very much appreciated, Cosimo!

I find models impossible to paint properly using only paintbrushes. Investment in a decent airbrush is a must. My new one has made life so much easier for me. Get a really nice finish.

new addition for my gopro
After trying to paint my Matilda with four paints and a brush I can only agree! The trouble is, I'd want to do it to a high standard and that means investing in too many things.
