Why MiniGT?
Why MINI GT?
As long-time 1:64 scale car collectors, we started our journey with Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. These gems of joy can be had for about a dollar and have brought happiness to millions. They jumpstarted our interest in collecting and we are forever grateful to the brand for all the love it has brought to the world.
BUT - and there's always a but!
We developed this company on the premise that some cars are more collectible than others. Some will typically hold their value longer. And some are more unique, special and desirable. We also formed based on a desire to reach adult collectors.
We have spent a lot of time evaluating the quality and value of diecast cars from all the major brands. We considered factors such as the level of detail, the uniqueness of the models, how faithful they are to the real cars, their collectability, and their potential to hold their value.
Here is a list that summarizes the different aspects of diecast cars and how they were evaluated:
Quality - The level of detail and craftsmanship was considered.
Value - The price of the car and the potential for it hold its value over time were considered.
Uniqueness - The model was compared to others on the market to see how different it was.
Faithfulness - The model was compared to the real car to see how closely it resembled it.
Collectability - The potential for the model to be a valuable collectible was considered.
While our final conclusion is of course subject to our own bias and opinion, it's one we feel confident about given our extensive study and experience.
After evaluating all of the above, we settled on the MiniGT brand (and its various partner brands) as the most desirable for the adult collector seeking to invest in something that will have a sustainable value over time.
While MiniGT has only been around for seven years, over that time they have demonstrated their commitment to quality.
Each of their models is produced in full diecast metal to deliver quality construction you can feel in the palm of your hand. They clearly strive for (and deliver) a strong level of detail - even the under-chassis is fully reproduced. No flat surfaces! Each model features realistic, soft rubber tires with detailed wheel designs to complete the look. Even the side mirrors on the majority of MiniGT models will be crafted from rubber for maximum protection.
To fully represent each model, MiniGT will offer both left-hand-drive (LHD) and right-hand-drive (RHD) versions of the majority of the models they sell.
In conclusion, given the high quality and limited nature of most MiniGT product runs, their retail MSRP on most cars is well below $20. We believe this is a bargain and offers the most important factor for our clients - value. When you trade your hard-earned cash for a MiniGT car, you're getting a great value.
Enjoy!
