Original Post Here

This van was originally posted a while back, a plastic yellow body with numerous racing decals, and a red interior. I never thought much of the model because racing just doesn't fit into my collection, especially generic no name racing.

Sadly, I could not fix the windscreen.

Looks nice, and the colour suits it. Renault used a shade of green just like that on the Espace, possibly the first gen not the second which this is but still very good.

Shame about the windscreen though :(

I have this one, with 'Novacar' markings on the metal base. This looks well done!

After being acquired by Majorette , Novacar from Portugal became a subsidiary of the parent company until the product was absorbed into the regular line , now over an approx good 15 years ago.

Does your Novacar have a plastic body, Most of the Novacar castings I have have plastic bodies. Butthen again the original one posted has a plastic body.

Prior to Majorette purchasing Novacars all had plastic bodies and metal bases. I don't know if any metal bodied Novacars were made after the buyout or not.

Yes. Plastic body. Fire Chief, with white interior. I got it in a multi-pack back in '96 or '97 when CVS was still marketing Majorette.

Thanks for looking everyone!

The whole Novacar thing has been an interesting thing to learn about, considering that I hadn't found these plastic bodied cars until finding them at a rummage sale.

Again, thanks for the input, and the info regarding these models!
