#631 Yatming Vs. Zylmex - Lamborghini Marzal (1004 In Addition To D48) (Around 1970 In Addition To 1977)

In 1 of the latest flea markets I visited, I constitute these 2 bully minatures of the same car: the Lamborghini Marzal. They are made past times 2 Hong-Kongese companies that at the fourth dimension were non really appreciated, exactly that today are really sought-after. This is our risk to brand a quick comparison.

We should of course of teaching reckon that the cast past times Yatming is much older, as well as that Zylmex's model is genuinely a knock-off of a Matchbox's miniature, as well as thus inwards price of cast, I preffer the Yatming model, that is, at least, based on an ain design.

Interestingly, the Yatming model has a drinking glass roof, every bit it had the master copy automobile model. I don't know why Matchbox decided to allow the roof covered as well as instead leaving the nurture window open. In the master copy car, the nurture window was covered past times a serial of panels amongst that same construction that is imitated inwards Matchbox's as well as Zylmex's nurture window design.

The doors of the existent automobile were similar the ones reproduced inwards the Zylmex model,

Curiously both cars are yellow, although the Zylmex model look to live on besides available inwards green. The Yatming model is inwards bad shape, exactly yet consummate as well as Rolling properly.

#678 Guisval - Topographic Point 131 (1976, 1977 As Well As 1980)

I convey commented it inwards previous entries, only I repeat it now. The Seat 131 is 1 of my favorite cars of all times, because it is a machine nosotros had inwards our identify unit of measurement until 1993 or so. I convey it several times inwards unlike scale past times unlike manufacturers. Today, I am showing the Guisval models.

The machine debuted inwards 1976 alongside ii versions: a really rare "Fire Chief" 1 (nr. 27) as well as the to a greater extent than ordinary 1 inwards brownish (nr. 32). Although the catalogue images hold back all the same, I demonstrate ii unlike shades of brown, likely the colouring was non fifty-fifty through the unlike batches that were built dorsum inwards the 70s.

 

One yr later, the "Fire Chief" version was removed as well as novel white version "Police" was introduced (nr. 44). In 1980, the brownish version would live replaced past times a silvery greyish version (but kept the same nr. 32), as well as inwards 1981, this was the solely version available. After that, the machine disappears from the catalogues, only it is nevertheless available inwards bluish alongside or without rally stickers.

1976
Nr. 27 - Jefe de Bomberos (red alongside white doors)
Nr. 32 - brown

1977, 1978, 1979
Nr. 32 - brown
Nr. 44 - White "Policia"

1980
Nr. 32 - Grey
Nr. 44 - White "Policia"

Nr. 32 - Grey

1984 on:
Also available inwards blue.

In afterwards years (up to the like shooting fish in a barrel 90s), the shape was reused as well as sold alongside rally stickers. This to a greater extent than modern models tin forcefulness out live identified past times its iv spoke wheels or the 8 points within a circle hubcap type. These convey plastic base of operations as well as are made alongside a worse quality. I equally good convey around of these, I tin forcefulness out demonstrate them perchance side past times side time.
