About Model Car Group
Model Car Group, usually shortened to MCG, is a German brand producing 1:18 scale diecast models at accessible prices. Its range is built around the everyday and enthusiast cars of the 1960s to the 1990s, the saloons, estates and coupés that filled roads and car parks, alongside landmark racing cars. Many models are produced as limited editions of 300 or 500 pieces.
Classic Saloons and RHD Editions
MCG is a favourite for classic Ford models, including the Capri, Escort, Lotus Cortina, Granada and Consul, and for period Vauxhall models such as the Cavalier. Many are produced as right-hand-drive editions, correct down to the steering wheel position and number plates. The range also covers the Jaguar XJ6, Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, and German classics from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Explore more in our classic cars category.
TV Cars and Historic Formula 1
MCG's TV cars include the Ford Capri from The Professionals, one of our best sellers, and more can be found in our film and TV models. On track, MCG recreates historic F1 cars such as Nigel Mansell's Williams FW11, winner of the 1986 British Grand Prix, James Hunt's McLaren M23 and Emerson Fittipaldi's Lotus 72D. See our Nigel Mansell collection and wider historic race cars.
