We are pleased to announce the future release of the Marcos Ambrose 2010 #47 "Zippo" nascar. This is the car that won Watkins Glen in 2010. A three-peat for Marcos and an historical occasion. We are taking pre-orders for this car and expect delivery approx December 2010.

The Marcos Ambrose "Kingsford" 2010 #47 and "Kleenex" 2010 #47 have been cancelled. Without strong support from the Icon Models customers the manufacturer was unable to meet minimum quantities. We are pleased with this result as the 4 original cars were too similar. Checkered Flag have just informed us that they are replacing those 2 cars with the "Little Debbie" 50th Anniversary #47 that he is currently running.

Do you like a bargain?

To promote Nascar diecast in Australia Icon Models is selling a large range of U.S. drivers for 2007 - 2008 at the unbelievable price of only $30.00 per model plus postage. These models were offered to Icon Models by Motorsports Authentics in an effort to raise Nascar awareness. The Nascar races are receiving a strong following from Australians since our own Marcos Ambrose started racing in the Craftsman truck race in 2006. Marcos has made his way through Craftsman truck, Nationwide and now Sprint Cup. We are all looking forward to following both Marcos and the other colourful Nascar characters through 2010.
