I already dedicated ane entry to this scale model manufacturer together with where I showed 2 models inwards 1:43 scale.(https://online-blackjack-games2bfree-1.blogspot.com//search?q=585-cggc-grisoni-fiat-128-rally-and-bmw)

These 2 are made inwards a smaller scale together with stand upward for 2 older cars.

 

 

 

As said before, at that topographic point are almost no data on the spider web close Grisoni, the alone reference is that the fellowship was active during the 70s together with the 80s. I justice this 2 cars could endure older than that, but I appointment them 1970 anyway.

 

 

 

I establish other site that says to a greater extent than or less of these models inwards 1:72 scale are marked PEZ on the base. These were promotional giveaway from the famous sugariness dispensers from Republic of Austria "PEZ".

The 2 cars presented inwards this entry were amidst them, but they are non marked PEZ, then they should belong to the criterion series.

One of the shortest in addition to rarest (relatively) recent serial past times Matchbox is the "Superfast Minis". These are small-scale (around 2 inches, mayhap 1:72) die-cast cars amongst plastic base of operations in addition to a large cycle on the base. This cycle is really interesting, since it allows a corking playability in addition to maneouvrability.

I dearest the pick of cars Matchbox made for this series: BMW M1, Ford RS 200, Chevrolet Stingray, Ferrari F40, Porsche 911, Lamborghini Countach… genuinely my iii models are the nearly irksome ones…

The serial are marked physician addition a release (either i ciffer or three). There seems to live 12 models, each of them inward ii decorations. Note that the catalogue moving-picture demo presents the Camaro in addition to the Jaguar inward other colours than mine.

Not to forget is the overnice mini-launcher to create to a greater extent than or less racing against your friends. I dearest this form of add-ons. This i seems to live non exclusively a launcher, simply likewise a small-scale container box for i car. There were several of these made, amongst unlike colouring combinations in addition to several brands printed on them, depending on the cars that they came with. I convey seen double blisterpacks amongst 2 cars (same model inward ii decorations) in addition to a launcher or amongst four models (2 models, 2 decorations each).
