ent. As the new livery will not be displayed to the public until next week I cannot show any images as yet but to begin spreading the word to inform customers that the new item is coming plus to ensure we get accurate production numbers we are making todays announcement as a ‘soft release’ prior to the real car which will be unveiled at the FPR workshop on Monday the 1st of October. I am not permitted to release any info on the new livery design or style before the car is unveiled by the team.

Orders are open now and will close at the end of business on Friday the 5th of October. Should the car win then this date will be extended but to meet the production deadline that has been set by the team we must lock away orders at this time if they do not claim the top step on the podium.

At the teams request this model will only be released in 1:18 scale.

With our first 1:18 and 1:43 scale Ford Sierra models progressing down the production line extremely well we are very proud to announce the third release of our program.

Throughout an eight round 1989 championship season, Dick Johnson fended off all-comers – including a determined teammate in John Bowe – to win his fifth Australian Touring Car Championship.
Rarely were the Shell Ultra Hi Racing drivers missing from the podium in 1989. Along the way, Dick Johnson achieved five pole positions, but his four race wins ultimately gave him the edge.
Apex Replicas is delighted to announce our impending 1:18 and 1:43 scale release of Dick’s final championship winning car.

The 1:18 scale model will be produced in diecast metal with opening doors, bonnet, and hatch and high quality detail. The included certificate of authenticity will be hand signed by Dick Johnson. Code: AD81103

The 1:43 scale model will be in resin and a limited edition produced to our usual high standard. Code: AR41103

Previously orders for 18540 Holden ‘VR Commodore’ Craig Lowndes Record Breaker have been cancelled.

The response to this model has been very disappointing, and unfortunately we must advise

you that we are not in a position to produce this model.

In 1981 Porsche Australia took Peter Brock, Jim Richards, and Colin Bond to LeMans for the 24 hour race in a Porsche 924 Carrera GT. Although mechanical gremlins meant they would not qualify for the race interest is still strong for this model. This model will be produced in 1:18 scale as an Australian market exclusive item.

These models will be produced in resin and each model will be an individually numbered limited edition.

Pre-orders close on Thursday 13th February 2014
