![]() Today's car of the day is Pilen's 1977 Seat 131 Familiar. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Seat 131 ![]() ![]() A Spanish car, replicated by a Spanish toy maker, and decked out as a Spanish Fire Chief (Jefe Bomberos) - how cool is that? This wagon arrived in my collection around 1999 or so, with a group of others, all unopened in their original packages, and even unopened, the paint loss to the black painted bases appears to be somewhat common. By the way, the interior is metal, and is the same mold as the base. It is a heavy little toy car. ![]()

Toy makers that design and build models of 1/1 cars in their own country are quite rare now. At one point ERTL made toys in Iowa, SIku in Germany, Majorette in France and Tomica in Japan. It was always a cool treat to flip a car over to see on the base where it was made at and imagine the people that made it. |

That is cool! I have no representatives of the Spanish diecast makers yet in my collection, I may have to remedy that one day soon. |

I clicked "Fix Now" and it gave it Jada DUB wheels. So I uninstalled the program. |
