It's part of the National Premium Incentive Show Promotionals. There should be three other cars in that set: Custom GTO, El Camino & Movin' Van.

Its a Welly. I've heard that the Tomica casting may have given it some inspiration, although this is a Golf II and the Tomica is a Golf I. They are similar in size, and Welly was known for copying (and modifying!) Tomica tooling in the '80s. The Tomica Japanese-spec Celica 2800GT turned Welly US-spec Celica Supra is another good example.

I was thinking that very thing while reading this thread!

It is amazing that just posting a couple of pics can yield answers to these questions!

Good work guys!
