The models were commissioned by mega-wealthy people who wanted a model of their rare car, for example a classic Bugatti. This guy had a CAD system that he used to create detailed design drawings on. Every nut and bolt had to be accurate.

He then hand made every component, including tyres and spokes. His workshop was like a watchmaker's. I think he said he had orders to keep him busy for 5 years. He wouldn't tell me how much he charge for a model, but he did say he delivered them personally and the delivery charge was a two-week holiday at the model's destination.

Edit: found him - Gerald Wingrove - and one of his models - sold for £12,500
