Burago also made die cast Viper model car kits of both the #40 and #41 LeMans Vipers. They were offered in 1/24th and 1/43rd scales. The kits included all of the Rent-A Car decals. They were being sold at Walmart about 5 years ago.

I have one of those, mine came in black. I still have the box somewhere but the model is tucked away with some others.

Is this one of the Dodge 91/92/93 GTS-R's? That car looks sweet just in plain red!

What is the 1/24th Burago Kit worth these days? I have mine, its never been out of the box.

 

[MKvpr]

I remember these cars from the first two Gran Turismo games on PlayStation.

I also read that they ran the same tires front & rear, from the pics I can see it's true. I wonder why they did that?

Does anyone know how these cars placed in their races?

To my knowledge, not one of the Oreca cars, as far as I know, this was one was of the ex 'Chamerlain' cars and it was in the shop for a respray at the time of the picture.

Not 100% on this though, was sent the pic many many years back.

 

[OrecaGTS-R/T]

A couple more pics....

PS. I agree, It looks amazing in shot red.

 

[Fatboy 18]

I notice that GTSR does not have the extra driving lamps. were they added at a later date?

Great pics, super awesome. The carbon fiber wheel arches and centerlocking hubs/wheels. . . drool.

Not much I'm afraid..... something like 25 euro at most.

The original SMS (rebuilded RT/10's from Bburago to the 94 RT/LM's) are worth the most!
I've seen them sell for anything up to € 250,- each!!!!!!!
So.... I'm curious how much they would sell for today.

I would love to see one or both of the SMS cars become available! I've been looking for a long time, but they sure are hard to find!

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Hey you and me both brother! I've got a lead on an equally rare model of #41 from a different manufacturer, just need to hear back from the seller about it

I would love to see one or both of the SMS cars become available! I've been looking for a long time, but they sure are hard to find!

 

[ViperArry]

I am confused about what you are referring to in your message...

[ViperArry]

@Steve911, I'm curious what they would sell for today.
I consider these models as the most valued ones in my collection, so I'm always curious to find out if they are worth more.

Not really open for an offer I'm afraid. Although....when someone comes that makes an offer noone would really reject. So never say never

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Thanks Arjen but I'm good How about that complete list of Minichamps GTS-R's and maybe Eagle's Race Vipers as well?

Interesting.....someone just won a 1:87 ** scale Rent-A-Car LeMans plastic 0f #41 (Yellow)for $80.90 (25 Bids !) made by LeMans Miniatures.

LeMans Miniatures 1/87 ** Dodge Viper Race Car #41 - eBay (item 320649318081 end time Feb-04-11 09:29:52 PST)

*** 80.90 someone needs to be administered to a mental hospital for life!!!
I was bidding on that also but after reaching well over $30 it became a little insane for me for such a tiny model.

 

[Vipuronr]

Agreed! I was watching but the was amazed at how much this (little)thing went up to. Good luck to them, hope they bough a magnifying glass to go with it!

Started making my small display (by comparison) of my RT's in my garage. Still not sure where I want it to be, but it is on one of the new shelves out of reach of my kids (and their friends). Seems that my two Rent-A-Car 1:43's are sufficient (Universal Hobbies, not Minichamps).
