Not sure exactly what information you're looking for, but Mebetoys and Hot Wheels have some connections - Mebetoys castings in 1/43 scale were sold as Hot Wheels' "Gran Toros" series in the early '70s.

I don't know a thing about 1/24 stuff, sorry.

Mebetoys was an Italian toy company in the early '60. MEccanica BEsana TOYS. They produced 1/43 and 1/24 model cars.

Mattel took over the Company in the late '60 and kept producing cars until the '80. Mebetoys was then sold to Bburago.


These large scale Italian vintage cars from Mebetoys, Martoys, Polistil and Bburago are very popular these days. Very cool find. :thumbup:

I agree with Dave (Lil'86).
This model apprears to be in mint condition and could go for big bucks if he would sell this on Ebay or similar sites.
They are certainly not easy to find in that condition.
