Motormax History
Motormax was established in 1997 by RBI Industries Holdings Limited, according to historical distributor information, and developed into an international manufacturer and distributor of diecast scale vehicles.
The company's history is also connected with the earlier Zylmex diecast brand. Industry retailer information identifies the company as having acquired the Zylmex brand in 1995 before creating the MotorMax name in 1997.
Over the years, Motormax expanded beyond a simple selection of toy cars into a broad range of licensed and collector-oriented scale vehicles. Its catalog has included classic American automobiles, European cars, Japanese vehicles, commercial trucks, emergency vehicles, motorcycles, aircraft, and other transportation subjects.
The brand's long-running catalog is also notable for including vehicles that are not always heavily represented by other diecast manufacturers. Collectors of less-common everyday cars and older American vehicles have sometimes sought out MotorMax models precisely because of the unusual subjects represented in the range.
Motormax 1:24 Diecast Models
1:24 scale is one of the most recognizable formats in the Motormax collection. It provides a useful balance between display size, detail, and affordability, making it popular with collectors who want larger models without moving all the way to 1:18.
The current Motormax catalog includes numerous 1:24 vehicles, including:
- 1964 Chevrolet Impala
- 1958 Chevrolet Impala
- 1974 Ford Maverick Grabber
- 1971 Mercury Comet
- Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser
- Ford GT Concept
- 1931 Ford Model AA
- 1978 Ford Bronco
- 1966 Volkswagen Beetle
- Mercedes-AMG GT3
- LAPD Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Motormax has also produced classic American subjects such as the Chevrolet C10 Fleetside, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette, Ford F-100, Ford Coupe, and other vintage vehicles in 1:24 scale.
For collectors building a classic American display, 1:24 Motormax models can be grouped by decade, manufacturer, body style, or vehicle type.

Motormax 1:18 Scale Models
Motormax has also produced a substantial selection of 1:18 scale diecast models, giving collectors a larger format for classic cars, sports cars, police vehicles, motorcycles, and other subjects.
The larger 1:18 format can be especially useful when exterior styling and interior details are central to the appeal of a model. Historical Motormax listings include vehicles such as the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, BMW X5, BMW Z8 Roadster, Audi A8, Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Corvette, Chrysler 300C, and Ford Hot Rod.
Some Motormax models feature opening doors, hoods, or trunks, working steering, and other functional details. However, features vary by individual model, so collectors should always check the specifications of the specific product before purchasing. Historical product information documents examples with opening doors, bonnet, trunk, workable steering, and display packaging.
Classic American Cars
A major attraction of Motormax diecast cars is its extensive selection of American automotive subjects.
The brand's classic-car range includes vehicles from the 1930s through the later 20th century, with examples including Ford coupes and pickups, Chevrolet Bel Airs, Corvettes, Impalas, Camaros, Chrysler models, Buick models, and other recognizable American automobiles.
For collectors, this makes Motormax useful for building displays around different periods of American automotive history.
1930s and 1940s
Early Ford coupes, pickups, and utility vehicles can represent the prewar and wartime automotive era.
1950s
The 1950s are particularly well represented by iconic American designs such as Chevrolet Bel Airs, Impalas, Corvettes, and Buick models.
1960s
Collectors can explore classic muscle cars, pickups, pony cars, sports cars, and other vehicles from the decade when American automotive styling underwent major changes.
1970s and 1980s
Motormax has also represented less-common vehicles from these decades, including ordinary passenger cars and "malaise era" vehicles that can be difficult to find in miniature. Collector communities have specifically noted the appeal of Motormax models representing less frequently reproduced vehicles such as the Plymouth Reliant and Ford Pinto.
Motormax Forgotten Classics and Timeless Legends
Motormax's current product organization includes Forgotten Classics and Timeless Legends, two collections that reflect the brand's broad approach to automotive history.
Forgotten Classics is particularly appealing to collectors who enjoy vehicles that are not necessarily the most famous or expensive cars of their era. These models can add variety to a collection by representing the ordinary cars, family vehicles, pickups, and unusual designs that helped define everyday automotive life.
Timeless Legends, meanwhile, provides an opportunity to focus on vehicles with lasting recognition and collector appeal.
This combination is useful for collectors who do not want their display limited exclusively to supercars and muscle cars.
Volkswagen and European Models
Motormax also maintains a Volkswagen Series, reflecting the popularity of classic Volkswagen vehicles among diecast collectors. Current Motormax products include a 1966 Volkswagen Beetle with a surfboard, while the broader range has included other Volkswagen subjects.
European vehicles have also appeared throughout the Motormax catalog, including Aston Martin, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and other European marques. The current catalog, for example, includes a 1:24 Aston Martin DB5 associated with James Bond 007, as well as Mercedes-AMG and other European subjects.
These models can complement collections focused on European classics, sports cars, or movie vehicles.
Motormax Police and Emergency Vehicles
Motormax produces police and emergency vehicle models, including vehicles from the LAPD collection. Current examples include a 1:18 2015 Ford Police Interceptor and a 1:24 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
Police cars are popular with collectors because they can be collected by department, vehicle generation, body style, or era. The distinctive markings and equipment also make emergency vehicles visually different from standard civilian versions.

Motormax Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road Vehicles
Motormax's range extends beyond passenger cars into pickup trucks, SUVs, commercial vehicles, and off-road models.
Current products include vehicles such as the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, Ford Bronco, Ford Model AA, and other utility-oriented vehicles. The brand also maintains a Trucking World collection.
Off-road models are especially useful for collectors interested in 4x4 history, vintage utility vehicles, and classic sport-utility vehicles.
Browse Off-Road, SUV & 4x4 Vehicles for additional models from other manufacturers.
Motormax Motorcycles
Motormax also produces diecast motorcycle models in several formats. Its Super Bikes collection currently includes 1:18 motorcycles, 1:24 motorcycles, multi-packs, and larger motorcycle models such as a 1:6 BMW K 1200 RS.
Historical Motormax ranges have also included motorcycles from manufacturers such as Kawasaki and Honda, including models such as the Kawasaki Ninja 600R, Kawasaki KLR650, Honda NSR250, and Honda Magna.
This makes Motormax a useful option for collectors who want to extend an automotive collection into motorcycles without switching entirely to another manufacturer.

Motormax Racing and Licensed Models
Motormax's current catalog includes GT Racing, Gulf Series, and James Bond 007 collections. The official site currently lists a 1:24 Mercedes-AMG GT3 and a 1:24 Aston Martin DB5 from the James Bond 007 range.
Licensed vehicles add another collecting dimension because the model represents both a real vehicle and its connection to motorsport, entertainment, or a particular brand.
Collectors interested in racing subjects can expand their display through Racing Models, while movie and television vehicle collectors can browse Movies & TV Series.
Smaller-Scale Motormax Models
Motormax also offers smaller formats for collectors who prefer compact displays or want to build larger groups of vehicles.
Its Super Wheels collection includes 1:43 and 1:64/3-inch vehicles, including individual models and multi-packs.
Smaller scales can be especially useful when collecting a particular theme such as:
- American classics
- Police vehicles
- Sports cars
- Racing cars
- Trucks
- Volkswagen models
- Emergency vehicles
- Off-road vehicles
Because scale affects the size and appearance of a collection, it is generally best to group models of the same scale together when creating a display.
Collecting Motormax Diecast Models
One of the strengths of a Motormax collection is the opportunity to collect by vehicle subject rather than simply by manufacturer.
You might build a display around:
- 1950s American cars
- Classic Chevrolet models
- Ford pickups
- Vintage European cars
- Japanese vehicles
- Police cars
- Off-road vehicles
- Volkswagen models
- Muscle cars
- Sports cars
- James Bond vehicles
- Racing cars
- Motorcycles
Collectors can also search by scale. A 1:18 collection can emphasize larger centerpiece vehicles, while 1:24 models provide a practical middle ground. Smaller 1:43 and 1:64 models make it possible to build a broader collection within a limited display area.
Displaying Motormax Models
Classic Motormax models can work particularly well in themed automotive displays. Consider arranging vehicles chronologically or grouping them by manufacturer.
For example, a display could progress from a 1930s Ford to a 1950s Chevrolet, a 1960s muscle car, a 1970s pickup, and a later sports car. Another display could focus entirely on police vehicles, Volkswagen models, off-road vehicles, or classic trucks.
For collectors creating larger scenes, Displays & Accessories can provide cases, stands, dioramas, and other products for organizing and protecting a collection.
