Hi everyone,

Would anyone know when Aurora started producing T-jets in Singapore?
I assume it was near the end of the run, probably circa '70.
I've heard the "Made In Singapore" sticker bodies were Canadian.
Any in formation is appreciated.

I'm not sure on that one. I've seen Wild One and Standard T-Jet chassis with the HONG KONG label on the side. Let me look that up. Randy.

In the late 60's.....

You can find late production Tjets and early stock A|FX cars with paper "Made in Singapore" stickers or ink stamps. I have personally owned Chargers, GTOs, Firebirds, AMX, Lighted Ferrari GTO's, virtually all of the Xlerators, Baja Bronco's, Too Much, Daytona Chargers, Datsun Baja pick-up, Porsche 917, Ferrari 512M, Vega, Pinto and Cuda funny cars as well as a Plymouth Road Runner or two….I'm sure there are more.

What I can't figure out, is why DON'T you see the more of the more common cars (generally speaking) with either of these markings, Ferrari 612, Shadow 101 etc.?

thanks for the info.
Would the value of these "Singapore" models be comparable to West Hempstead items with all things equal such as condition? Some of these Singapore items seem to have "colored" glass such as yellow.
Gee, was this the beginning of outsourcing, way back then?

Every NOS Tjet chassis I've purchased so far has a Hong Kong sticker on it. Not suprising in any way..

We're not referencing those "Hong Kong" chassis stickers, we're referencing little white stickers located up inside the bodies that state "Made in Singapore".
I suppose they basically mean the same, though the later Singapore t-jet bodies had a few differences over the earlier West Hempstead line.
Any info
thanks
