I've got a couple of those accessories lying around at home - I'll post pics when I can. They're great with working wind-up parts and such.

Very cool! Are these circa the early '80s? I seem to recall a few Tomica playsets from that era that resemble this.

They were sold since the mid-70s, also in the US in "Pocket Car" blisters.

Support your local demo derby.

Do the buffers actually move on that?

Yes, the buffers work. The pin on the top connects to a wind up mechanism which moves the buffers.

On this particular piece, no, they no longer move. The gears still wind/unwind, but the buffers are stripped on the inside. :(
Still a great piece though.

It's a great working relationship...he has a B-I-G debt to the IRS, and is selling off his collection of 30+ years. He gets to pay on that and I get instant gratification.

He is a Tomy-source guy, but that's not his ebay name...I'd love to share but then I'd have w-a-y more competition for his cars. With one quick search, he can be found. :lol:
