This uncommon brand of a rare Ferrari that hasnt been popular so far with diecast manufacturers is in 1/55 -1/60 scale and sits well with Sikus.As with many other Tin Toys 1970s toys it is probably a copy of a major brand item, although in this case I dont know.The details like the chrome steering wheel and driver with painted face shows that these were designed to compete with european brands, and many of the 1/43 issues were superbly accurate copies of Dinkies and other now extinct brands.Not many collectors have these,discuss these or even notice them in beater boxes at garage sales..... its a shame because somebody ion HongKong in the early 1970s made a brave attempt to take on Corgi and the rest.
The bright red car has 2 peice wheels with separate chrome hubcaps, the other has 1 peice speedwheels.These dont fit in my collection so will probably end up on ebay after I have enjoyed them for a few months more!
