Sure Sprinter...first released in mid 67, and ran into the Transitional year of 1970 as a Superfast toy...yours is a ambered window colour which is the most common, but none the less a very fun and nostaglic toy of vehicles our Parents and Grand Parents rode frequently...

a bit rarer model exists with clear windows and runs about 4 to 6 X the cost of your toy MIMBox.....

There are several variations to the colour of the label and also the dog...either running or in a prone position, that makes collecting these toys of our past a fun persuit !!! Thanks kindly for shareing your model !
