European Tomica? HELP with ID

A member on another forum that I frequent has a loose Mazda Savanna RX7. He wants to know when & where it was sold.

I was able to locate pictures of it that show it coming in a blister pack, and I think sold in the UK.

Anyone have any more info about this car or line of Tomica - specifically when they were sold and in what countries.

Found this on the web to show what the car and packaging looks like:

I have 2 like that, and I bought them on the epay from a guy in Brazil.

Euro Tomica

I bought a few sets from a shop in England, sometime around 1995. As I remember, these were some of the earliest made in China. I consider these as Euro Tomica but I know some in South America have sold on EBAY.

Thanks for your replies guys! I also posted this elsewhere and have received a number of replies which seem to agree these were last sold in Europe around 1993/94 and as such, they were probably the last of the officially marketed Tomica in the western world...
