About Javan Smith - Historic Model Cars

Javan Smith is a trusted model maker in the world of Historic race cars. During the last 23 years Javan has developed the world’s most extensive range of iconic historic race car models in his signature scale of 1/8, all of which are individually handmade personally by Javan in his studio on the Lizard Peninsular in Cornwall, England.

The genuine Javan Smith historic racing car range is made entirely in house with every last component, including the plinths and display cases, made personally by Javan. Therefore, each and every model is unique, stood the test of time, has enduring value, and has proved to be a delightful appreciating asset for his many clients wordwide.
As each Javan Smith model from the range is individually made to order, to replicate a particular chassis number or particular race is normally no problem. He is able to provide this service often with no extra cost to the client.

Javan Smith builds with passion what is without doubt the World’s finest range of iconic racing car models in large 1/8 scale - the latest, and probably the last, being strictly limited editions of the definitive Ferrari 250GTO, together with the later bodied car, the 250GTO’64, although a very limited (maybe just 12 examples) Aston Martin Project 212/4 will be available in late 2013. Orders being accepted now but no deposit required !
Remember that I am able to bespoke build to the chassis number of your choice from my standard range, normally at no extra cost.

           My model style is "Kerbside". No opening panels but full detailing to interiors.
