Not mine and I don't know the seller, too pricey for me but I thought it was rather curious as I know this is a Summer casting. I knew Road Champs used Yatming castings (I thought to get started), but it appears from this that at least at some point Summer castings were also used.

This must have been Road Champs' starter fund when they were first getting into business. As these are Summer's early lineup, same cars from the back of their own card.

:toy: I do remember that blister card - but that is about all I remember. Not sure where they were sold but suspect I probably grabbed some - especially since I see the Rolls Royce listed. I always got kick out of the toy companies noting the scale of these "cheap" models. I recall one collector I used to know who allways called them "junk wheels" and was a big collector of these "crude" little cars.
