Renault 5 Turbo To Collect

Last Sunday I wrote that I want to hunt the Renault 5 Turbo diecast modelcars. There are plenty and just by looking after the 3 inches ranges (from 1/50 to 1/64 scales) I've seen a lot.
Starting with the ones I own:
 
R5T and Maxi 5 Majorette 1/53 (the red with the yellow base was introduced the year I was born ;) and the 1/54 Norev

Special honours to the ones I purchased but that have not yet reached my home:
 Corgi, Darda, Bburgao 1/43 (bigger than the others but not too much bigger...)
and another Norev in white road version (no picture here)

Majorette announced they were making an new one in 2020 with these horrible wheels they actually use, and some recent Hot Wheels I hope I would find in a shop (not to pay these 3 times their value with the shipping cost if I buy them on the net):



When I say these are recent that's because I've seen a few days ago a picture of the 1992 Hot Wheels catalogue and look who we have here?

Okay, at the time the Hot Wheels were very badly made and doesn't look exactly like the real cars.
This is part of the collecable game (do you really think I've purchased the Darda because it was looking nice?).











Let's finish with the 80's Majorette I really would like to collect:

From top to bottom, the Maxi 5, the very first one on the market was using the same wheels than the regular R5T. Merely in the same time went out the one with the big "sport" wheels Majo was using at this time but you can see this one is light blue!
The dark blue is the one I have. Do you thing so? Let's look at the windows, these are yellow (mine has white transparent windows). The white and the yellow cars are exactly the same with the same tampographies BUT on different colors...
The black one has a double interest because it's black, and because it's a Globa Toys (they were debranding made in France Majorette to sell without import taxes in some countries)
The next white (and the last on the bottom right) is an advertising model made on command (by both big national and small local firms). Of course if I want one I need it to be in a real good condition.
Finally in the bottom left corner is another R5T like the ones I have (and on which I discovered that there could be variations on details): the base (and the interior) are red! Red! Not orange nor yellow but red!

Of course the liste would not be complete without some regular Renault 5 (like the R5 Alpine and the pink one from Majo and the LeCar from Hot Wheels) and Supercing (mostly the rallye Team Diac driven by Alain Oreille) I do want too, but this is another story...
