#649 Guisval - Renault 12 Ts Policia Serie Escorpión (Ref. 109) (1979)

Which man child does non similar to play alongside a constabulary car? Even really pocket-size children are magically appealed yesteryear constabulary cars alongside their loud sirens in addition to lights on the roof. Almost all toylines involving figures or vehicles accept policemen (or well-nigh rarely policewomen) in addition to constabulary vehicles. Also Guisval. From the outset of the describe of piece of occupation inward 1974 to 1978 they had a Ford Capri alongside Police ornamentation (and the same reference number), but inward 1979, this automobile was replaced for the 1 inward the next pictures. The Ford Capri yesteryear the way, seems to live inspired inward a Corgi model.

The Escorpión serial was already explained inward #125, where I showed a Porsche Carrera. This describe of piece of occupation had a scale of 1:37, bigger than the classic 1:43. They were actually striking dorsum then, since well-nigh of them included around plastic accesories on the roof, front end or dorsum parts, in addition to really prissy decals.

This model is a automobile that to my cognition was never used yesteryear the Castilian police, I accept flora a moving painting of the local constabulary from Huelva (Southwestern Spain), but I don´t know how many units at that topographic point were or when were they inward service. No affair what, the automobile looks smashing alongside that constabulary decoration, nighttime bluish alongside white doors, It has practicable (front) doors in addition to trunk.

The same model was too released inward other decorations in addition to alongside other reference numbers: Ref. 101 “Familiar” in addition to Ref. 104 “Cruz Roja” (“Red Cross” Ambulance). Guisval too made this automobile inward 1:64 scale (Campeón Series).

I  bought this toy from a guy, who had bought it himself from a model collector who collected exclusively Renault models. The automobile is nevertheless inward its master box, in addition to I would fifty-fifty nation unopened. One side of the box is nevertheless stuck together alongside sellotape from (what´s probably) an erstwhile toystore: "José Mocete" located inward "Limites, 12" (street, number). I accept checked if I could respect such address inward google maps, but got no results. I would similar to know where was located that erstwhile toystore, but I volition likely never know.

Under the car, at that topographic point is a pocket-size folded catalogue alongside the Escorpión Series from 1979. I haven’t opened it, but if yous are curious, simply banking concern stand upwards for it here: http://miniaturasenmetal.jimdo.com/serie-escorpi%C3%B3n/

#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.

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.

#706 Guisval - Camión Volquete (Nº49) Together With Camión Hormigonera (Nº50) (1971)

This entry volition present ii of the oldest trucks made past times Guisval for the Campeon series. This serial originally comprised xxx models (in 1967, only was later on expanded inward 1970 in addition to 1971 to 43 in addition to 50 models respectively). These ii trucks pick out references 49 in addition to 50. One of them (Nr.49) is a uncomplicated dumper in addition to the instant i (Nr. 50) is a cement mixer. Both are based inward the same cast, solely the "load" changes.

These models were sold during a long time, and, equally nosotros volition encounter later, the cast was modified at to the lowest degree i time (I hateful the trunk of the truck, the base of operations was in all probability changed several times). By 1974 or 1975, they were assigned other reference numbers: xxx for the dumper in addition to twoscore for the cement mixer.

The start models were made inward the colours y'all see: green/yellow (the dumper) in addition to yellow/green (the cement mixer). Later issues would likewise alter colours in addition to likewise cycle types, in addition to the cement mixer would likewise pick out the cement drum made of metallic element or plastic.

1976 - both novel "superfast" wheels
Nr.30 green/yellow (same), blue/yellow
Nr.40 yellow/blue (unpainted metallic element drum), green/yellow (red metallic element drum)

Nr.30 blue/orange
Nr.40 Discontinued inward 1978

1979-1981
Nr.30 yellow/blue

1982
Nr.30 discontinued inward 1982

The same dump truck was available inward this set (#441) I showed a long fourth dimension ago, inward my case, fifty-fifty the colours are the same.

And finally, I wanted to show, that the model was reused about fourth dimension later on (I checked all catalogues inward miniaturasenmetal.jimdo.com/ addition to a greater extent than catalogues I own, in addition to I couln't observe when in addition to for which series, this model was "resurrected". Note the orangish colour, in addition to the unlike base of operations amongst the ii small-scale rectangulars frames to live attached to a gem box. Interestingly enough, the cast has been modified. Note the surface inward front end of the winshield, the quondam model has about spikes, land the later on re-cast doesn't. Also inward the front end in that place is a small-scale rectangular hole to attach i business office of the base.
In the in conclusion flick I compare ii models i amongst the quondam cast (green/yellow) in addition to i amongst the novel cast (orage). If y'all tin convey about low-cal into this, I would live real grateful.

The gem box is likewise interesting because it is i of the real start gem box models used  (the start one, I squall back was the i used amongst the formula ones, in addition to the instant i is the i inward the pictures. The vehicle is fixed to the box past times agency of a sellotape, or something similar. There are about "somewhat" rusty rests of it here. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 chip later on inward Guisval history, the models would live attached to he boxes past times agency of ii circular pegs, in addition to fifty-fifty later on past times agency of ii plastic clips that attach to rectagular frames on the base of operations of the cars (see orangish model). Some other day, nosotros could speak farther most boxes.

The catalogue from 1971 was even then in that place inward the box of the Dump Truck. It is actually beautiful.

Sorry for the character of the pictures, they are a chip blurry, because of a incorrect setting inward the photographic boob tube camera that day.

#715 Guisval - Several Replica Juniors Models (Around 1988)

It seems that the Replica serial (see #81 together with #82) was a nifty success for Guisval. Only a few years later the issue of the master copy series, a "junior" serial was released. These were likewise classic cars from the 1930s or earlier, alone inwards three inches size. These were, of course, cheaper.

  

In the 80s, the Models of Yesteryear were a nifty success worldwide, together with about of them gained high value inwards alone a few years. Many collectors wanted these, I intend because the models represented were those that they had known together with seen inwards the onetime days... currently, well-nigh of these models are extremely cheap, together with tin live on bought for five Euro or less, about fifty-fifty boxed. I recommend the article from Der Spiegel (in German) which is related to collecting die-cast miniatures

  

No thing what, Guisval produced these models hither yesteryear the halt of the 90s, when the involvement for these type of toys was at its highest.The Replica Junior serial were truly ii dissimilar ones, a Replica Junior serial alongside cars alone together with a Replica Junior Transporters, alongside vans, trucks together with buses. I introduce four of each subseries, it is tardily to decide which 1 is which. For the master copy 1:43 serial no “transport” vehicles were made.

The models I convey constitute over the years are:

  

COLECCIÓN REPLICA JUNIOR:

• Packard 1930 (yellow model)
• Cadillac 1931 (white model)
• Delahaye 185M-1939 (blue model)

Some models similar the Packard were likewise available inwards the bigger scale Replica series, spell other (most of them) were completely novel models, never done yesteryear Guisval before.

These were all models available, honour about of them were available inwards dissimilar colours.

#749 Guisval – Fanal/ Display Colección Campeón Together With Servicios Públicos (Around 1990)

 

These are 2 displays from the rattling early on 90s past times Guisval, every bit the cars were withal made inwards Spain. I accept talked nearly these display items many times over the entries dedicated to Guisval, exactly these are the starting fourth dimension I genuinely buy. I got them through a friend who saw them inwards a shop. For that year, the models included are quite old-fashioned, in addition to include casts that were already used inwards the early on 80s.

 

 

The starting fourth dimension of the 2 is a "campeón" collection, that is the 3 inches, ordinary collection past times Guisval. It contains 24 cars, inwards plastic blisters, many of them are double, triple or fifty-fifty cuadruple. Note that interestingly, the bottom 3 come upward inwards slightly bigger blisters, because they are bigger models (vans in addition to pick-ups). The xanthous display should accept some cardboard ornamentation on both upper sides, exactly they are lost, or perhaps removed if the cars were originally placed inwards some other display in addition to the pic did non gibe the cars anymore.

 

The cars from these years endure from metal-fatigue or zamak pest in addition to sometimes are constitute broken, fifty-fifty if mint inwards box. This is the illustration of the option upward at the bottom, middle column or the minute automobile inwards the middle column (a golden Seat Ronda).

 

All cars come upward amongst rally stickers, in addition to amongst either four spoke wheels or 8 signal wheels, which are 2 of the latest bike models used past times Guisval.

 

The models are (by row in addition to column)

• Opel Kadett (Vauxhall Astra) - Matra Simca Bagheera - Ford Sierra
• Porsche 928 - Seat Ronda - Matra Simca Bagheera
• Matra Simca Bagueera - Renault xi - Peugeot 205
• BMW 323i - Renault 21 Nevada - Citroën BX
• Opel Corsa - Ford Sierra - Seat Ronda
• Seat Ronda - Mercedes 190 - BMW 323i
• Ford Sierra - Opel Kadett - Ford Sierra
• Renault Espace - Toyota Hilux - Renault Espace

The minute display has a bunch of trucks (either Volvo or Magirus Deutz) together amongst ane Jeep Willis, ane Land Rover, several pickups (Toyota Hilux in addition to Datsun), 2 Renault Espace in addition to a camper van. I dearest this set, because most of these vehicles came amongst plastic accesories similar canopies, tow hooks, or structure items in addition to these are unremarkably lost inwards played toys. It is diffcult to larn some of them complete.

 

 

 

Here, the bike mixture is to a greater extent than complex, because nosotros honor the 4-spoke bike in addition to the typical “truck wheel” (small circle surrounded past times v points in addition to large circle), together amongst the classic bike used inwards the Jeep Willis.
