#664 Cf Hong-Kong - Fiat X1-9 (Tomica Knock-Off) (Around 1995)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AND THE KNOCK-OFF AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

Here is a die-cast machine copied from a Tomica cast. Although the special degree is non that high, the manufacturer, CF, decided to position a pull-back motor inside, as well as thus the toy is to a greater extent than interesting for children. The wheels are bigger as well as come upwards amongst chromed hubcaps. This makes the machine a scrap higher as well as less realistic, merely it has to survive similar that because of the pull-back motor.

Nothing is know nearly CF, I could solely constitute a few notes as well as a few pictures inwards the internet. All models available (which are 6) are Tomica copies:

• Audi 5000 inwards nighttime bluish (#301)
• Nissan Bluebird inwards nighttime crimson (#302)
• Porsche 930 inwards brilliant crimson (#303)
• Jaguar XJS inwards greenish (#304)
• Fiat X1-9 inwards low-cal bluish (#305)
• Toyota Corolla Levins inwards brilliant yellowish (#306)

Some of this notes (found inwards gogotomica.blogspot.com or gasolinealleyantiques.com) fighting that these cars are in all probability made past times Faie, perchance because Faie made other Tomica copies before.

CF cars were available inwards inexpensive blistercards. I don´t know when were these released, merely I would tell the trend of the blister bill of fare is unopen to 1995 o 1996, non as well as thus old, merely a really interesting a rare sample.

#914 Faie - Matra Simca 670 (No. 8207) Together With Porsche 936 Turbo (No. 8208) (Around 1986)

Faie is closed to other well-known manufacturer from which in that place is aught to read out there. I wishing nosotros would all the same convey breithaupts website, where nosotros would belike hold upward able to read a really educated article virtually this brand.

Unfortunately, in that place is aught nosotros know of this company, except that it was based inwards Hong-Kong, in addition to it disappeared past times the mid-90s. Their models are nicely done, closed to of them are copies of other major brands, closed to are shared amongst other similar brands similar Tintoys. At closed to shout for the fellowship moved the production lines to China, then closed to blisters are marked "Made inwards China".

The Matra seems to hold upward copied from Majorette acre the Porsche is somewhat similar to Tomica. I cannot confirm whatsoever of these assumptions, fifty-fifty though I convey both the Majorette in addition to the Tomica.

The variey of models is quite big, counting sport cars, F1s, sport prototypes, vans, trucks, utilitary cars...

They are quite rare, I am non certain if the newer models are all marked inwards the base of operations or not. I gauge they are not, then it is really hard to recognise them against other models similar the higher upward mentioned Tintoys. That is perchance the argue why they are then hard to find.

I convey only two. The Porsche I ain it since at to the lowest degree xv years or so, acre the Matra has been works life lately inwards a flea market.

I wishing I could say to a greater extent than virtually these brand, but I cannot. If person has to a greater extent than information, delight create non hesitate to operate out closed to comment below, then I tin contact you.
