#523 Joal – Renault Ten (Ref. 104) (Around 1969)

I ever considered the miniatures from Joal to move bang-up reproductions.

In or as well as then cases, Joal copied the models from Corgi or other major manufacturers from other countries. I mean value or as well as then are equally good based inwards Mercury models. The Italian die-cast manufacturer had many reproductions of Fiat cars, which were, of course, really interesting for Castilian manufacturers, since Seat models were equal to the Fiat models.

In this case, the automobile is like to an onetime Norev model, although I cannot assure it because I cannot compare them. The character of the Joal model is rather high, considering that it was made inwards the slow 60s past times a Castilian fellowship (which had non the latest technology of that time). If you lot pay plenty attention, you'll move able to encounter or as well as then imperfections.

The automobile is however inwards its greenish as well as white master box, the kickoff model used past times Joal. The same automobile was available at to the lowest degree inwards white, brown, bluish as well as green. The master automobile was made from 1965 to 1971 (in Espana it was manufactured from 1966 to 1970).

#534 Polistil – Super Smasher Cars (Around 1986)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

This was quite a regain for me. I constitute this automobile for sale inwards a big lot, together with at commencement I couldn´t recognise it. The automobile is casted quite roughly, thus at commencement I idea it mightiness live around chinese toy, precisely I checked the base of operations together with it is truly a Polistil model belonging to a rare together with curt business called "Super Bang". I was correct most its Chinese origin, nonetheless (keep reading!)

The business is of course of pedagogy based on Hot Wheels! Crack Ups which were launched soon earlier this one. There were a few models amongst the cleft lawsuit either at the front, the dorsum or the door. However, Polistil could argue, that earlier the Crack Ups, the italian fellowship made around tracks called "Bang". Those tracks were called "Super Driver Bang", together with were a slot automobile arrangement rattling similar to Tycos TCR, together with yous could fifty-fifty alter lanes. Each runway came amongst ii cars. If 1 of them crashed the other 1 from behind, the automobile would "explode".

After that "Bang" line, came the Crack Ups, together with thus Polistil hitting dorsum amongst the "Super Bang", which is the toy I am showing today. In this case, the automobile seems to live a Renault 25 inwards around scale slightly betwixt 1:43 together with 1:32. This is the lawsuit of the crash inmy model:

There were a full of iii casts, this 1 amongst the crash inwards its bonnet, a constabulary automobile (that resembles a chip a Chevrolet Impala) amongst the crash on its dorsum together with a tertiary sports automobile model that resembles perhaps a Datsun 280ZX, which the crash on the correct door. Each of these were made inwards ii dissimilar colours/decorations, together with had around stickers on them.

The cars are unfortunately non rattling valuable toys. They were made inwards China, together with they practise non stand upwards for whatever known car, what inwards my take in makes it lose a lot of value. The stickers are every bit good non rattling qualitative ones, together with the windshields are inwards all models dark. In this illustration that slice of plastic is at the same fourth dimension the bring upwards lights of the car, or inwards the illustration of the constabulary car, it integrates ii sirens.

Anyhow, it is a rattling curious model that I wanted to exhibit it inwards the “month of the bootleg”, promise yous liked it.

Another non bad model past times Nacoral of Zaragoza, Spain.

This variety is a beautifully detailed Bizzarrini "Manta" inward 1:43 scale. The automobile is a relatively rare automobile designed past times Italdesign Giugiaro inward 1968/69, I did non fifty-fifty know this automobile existed, in addition to now, watching photos of the automobile I am amazed past times its design.

#641 Politoys - Alfa Romeo Giulia Pronto Intervento (E14) As Well As Lancia Beta 1800 (E41) (1971)

Italian brands similar Polistil, Mercury, Mebetoys or Grisoni reproduced many italian models that are quite rare inwards other international brands. I am of course of pedagogy non talking virtually Ferrari, Lamborghini in addition to other groovy sport cars, simply to a greater extent than mutual Fiats, Autobiancchis... or inwards this illustration I am presenting a Lancia in addition to an Alfa-Romeo from the early on 70s.

 

The starting fourth dimension 1 is an Ambulance, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Pronto Intervento. This machine was every bit good available inwards night light-green that looks similar a military machine version, simply it is genuinely a "Polizia Stradale" patrol, that is a patrol machine for highways inwards Italy. This version is likely older, since the base of operations is metallic element in addition to marked "Combinata Polizia" instead of "Pronto Intervento".

The bit 1 is the Lancia Beta 1800, every bit good available inwards blue, green, red, law decorations... about had siren, antenna or fifty-fifty a roof rack, so, this greyness version seems to last the most tiresome one. All inwards all, a rare machine amongst a groovy cast, beautifully done in addition to amongst opening doors (the doors includes the whole window frame, something somehow rare inwards die-cast models.

#642 Dinky - Lamborghini Marzal (Nr. 189) (1969)

It seems almost unforgivable that inward 641 entries, non a unmarried i dealt conduct amongst Dinky Toys. The argue is that Dinky Toys inward Spain, where I lived, together with Austria, where I alive now, these models are quite rare. I didn´t convey many models of this build until a few weeks/months ago.

 

Dinky is i of the traditional die-cast manufacturers from England, non for zero is a build of Meccano Ltd, at the fourth dimension i of the most powerful toy companies inward the world. Dinky was active betwixt 1935 together with 1979. The history of the fellowship tin live read inward the Wikipedia or inward whatever of the many books related to Dinky Toys.

 

 

Because this fourth dimension I am showing a relatively novel automobile made yesteryear Dinky, I volition solely add together a few lines close the after years together with what happened to Dinky's build after 1979. One of the many revolutions inward the die-cast world, to which Dinky somehow had to adapt, was the Hot Wheels appearance amongst depression friction wheels. Dinky had to accommodate closed to of its models starting inward 1967 to let a novel type of wheels together with axles. Meanwhile, Dinky was soundless competing amongst Corgi to offering novel together with interesting features, similar four practicable doors inward the same model, aerials, gem headlights together with hence on. All this neat details raised the cost considerably, together with this would after live a employment when trying to compete amongst inexpensive Asian manufacturers.

 

In the 70s, at that spot was already a considerable grade of competitors coming from Asia, hence Dinky started lowering the character of closed to of its models. Collectors fence that closed to cars inward this menses are actually badly casted, piece other models soundless convey remarkable accuracy together with quality.

 

Dinky Toys finally closed inward 1979. As many other die-cast manufacturers inward England, together with hence inward other parts of Europe, the contest from the residual of the Blue Planet atomic number 82 many traditional brands to disappear inward the early on 80s. The trademark Dinky, however, was purchased yesteryear Matchbox International inward the slowly 80s, together with closed to editions of Matchbox's cars were released nether this brand, most of them oriented to adult collectors. Since 2000, the build has never been used again.

 

 

 

The Lamborghini was available for the kickoff fourth dimension inward 1969, piece the existent automobile dates from 1967. It was made inward several colours through the years, including yellow/white, green/white, gold/white together with blue/white versions, all of them seem to convey dissimilar wheels. The blueish together with gilt models are clearly the newest ones, amongst plastic one-part wheels. The yellowish version has the oldest type of wheels, together with the light-green one, equally yous tin run across inward the pictures, has an intermediate type of wheels.

 

The base of operations is marked amongst the patent number, simply at that spot is no scale indication.

 

 

Althugh the existent automobile was made solely i fourth dimension (one unit), it has been made into a toy yesteryear many manufacturers, run across for example: Guisval #23, Matchbox #69 or Yatming together with Zylmex #631. Also Nacoral made a real impressive version amongst practicable doors.

#661 Joal – Chaparral Prototipo 2F (Ref. 113) In Addition To Adams Bros Probe Sixteen (Ref. 118) (Around 1973)

These are 3 Joal models inward 1:43 scale that my manful somebody bring upwardly bought a duet of years agone inward a flea market. They are inward non bad shape, although the Adams Bros is non 100% complete. It is missing the plastic roof, a really difficult to detect bit.

Joal chose a mixture of prototypes, ordinary together with sport cars, together with these are an instance of sport together with race cars, cheque every bit good my entries dealing with the Renault 10, the Ferrari 512S or the Monza G.T. and the Alfa 1600.

 

 

We convey mentioned several times that Joal unremarkably "borrowed" designs from other companies similar Tekno of Denmark, Polistil from Italy or Corgi from the United Kingdom, only nosotros are non certain if the models are actual copies, licenses or if Joal bought casts from other companies. In the instance of the Chaparral, it powerfulness live similar to a model made yesteryear Mercury, together with the Adams Bros. Probe similar to Corgi´s. I cannot compare them, because I create non convey these, alone the 2 Joals, then this is alone a guess.

 

As commons inward Joal models, these were available inward several colours each: the Chaparral is at to the lowest degree available inward red, green, yellow, gilt together with blue, spell the Adam Bros. Probe is available inward red, green, blue, xanthous together with orange.
