Perhaps another Welly model copied from Tomica? Tomica version pictured looks really close to the copy shown in this thread. http://www.diecastlovers.com/collectable/tomica-tomy-lotus-78-ford-12501/ |

JRI, whose logo is on the front of the blister cards, was a distributor of various brands back in the 70s and 80s. Among the brands they dealt with were Welly, Summer, Road Champs and Yatming among others. I have no proof but wonder if 'Road Machines' just wasn't a name used by Welly similar to Yatming's 'Road Tough' or 'Fast Wheel'? |

I'm going to butt in for a little bit for a quick question. Are these Road Machines castings?![]()

I'm pretty sure they are Yat Ming castings. |

All they say is "Made In Hong Kong". There's little ovals on one of them where they blanked out something. Wheels look similar though. |
