Master Modeler Pere Tarragó Presents 1:5-Scale 1958 Matchless G50

From a very young age, Pere Tarragó exhibited a fascination with motor vehicles. The Spanish modeler fashioned his first miniature automobile with Zinc plates, welded tin, and Meccano (branded as Erector in the U.S.) set pieces at the tender age of 16. His first collection consisted of seven cars, but he had a hunger for even more challenging projects.

Over the next ten years, Tarragó experimented with alternative tools and fabrication processes such as milling machines, winches, and numerous welding systems. Once he mastered his craft, Tarragó moved on to his true passion, creating 1:5- and 1:6-scale versions of classic motorcycles.
