![]() ![]() Found this morning, nice condition aside from a few flea bites and marginal chrome on the fork, well-detailed for a Summer pullback, scales up well to Road Champs, Zylmex and Maisto 1/18 motorcycles, and the wrought iron on it is great. If anyone wants more pics I'll get them. And Wes likes Tuk-Tuks, wonder what he has to say about this one.

Appears to be some sort of taxi intended for a large city in a place like Hong Kong or China from back in the day. |

They are big in the Philippines, even now. Yes, I like! And if you got it for .49 cents, you did very well indeed! |

Thanks! Prices for toy cars here are insanely low for the most part (3 70s 1/24 Alfas by an obscure Greek manufacturer that I can't recall the name of, for $125 each, at my usual antique store in the overpriced seller's booth, notwithstanding) I'll post my other, recent bizarre find even tho it's not made of zamac or whitemetal. Been able to do a lot of hunting between having to spend down excess money in my bank account by program policy (they told me to do whatever I wanted with it) and Christmas money. |

It's in essence a moped with a little cabin built on top of it. I remember crashing into these silly little things when playing "Burnout 3: Takedown". Edited by SeberHusky, Jan 6 2014, 07:27 PM.

Yep. Real ones are verboten in the US because they are severe polluters and supposedly unsafe. I was able to tip this one over on its side within 2 seconds, loaded down with 3 Locsters figures, a Micro Machines Tucker and a Locsters Hood Hounds Rottweiler and pulled back on my kitchen floor. |

Thanks! Been doing trades on Facebook too, finally getting my uberholy grail Zylmex Nissan Skyline in very nice condition with good decals in trade for a Tomica USA Mazda RX8 cop car, just to name a few. But buying cars from a store and not knowing what you'll find is the most fun. |
