The Porsche Carrera. I have a couple of these but not in this condition. I have made it up to seven now. Very small collection but slowly growing. Not mint but looks pretty good for its age!. Anybody else collecting these? I'm hoping to someday have one good example of each.

Nice one Bob. Interesting line you've started to collect.
Didn't this Porsche have a number like 907 or something?

I have 3 of them, it appears they all have the same interior and wheels. I have the porsche as well, in blue with # 92 instead of 14. Neat little cars, very hard to find. None of my reference books have them listed.

Kimmo's, Dave Weber's and Mark Fosters Encyclopedia of Small Scale Diecast Motor Vehicle Manufacturers mentions Speedy.

From what I can understand, Mercury is the actual manufacturer though the name does not appear on the casting. I have a 250 Ferrari Speedy though it is nowhere as nice as Bob's Porsche.
