![]() Today's car of the day is Baravelli's 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Porsche 911 ![]() ![]() Here's one that should appeal to the Auto World and M2 aficionados. Or not. This ugly little Porsche isn't much to look at, but nothing that came from Baravelli was. Baravelli toy cars were made in Italy in the early 1980's, and the cars were definitely not collector quality models. This crude Porsche has a plastic base, which also forms the seats inside, although it is not easy to see the interior behind the tinted windows. Baravelli and Giodi, another Italian toy brand, both released the same crude castings, separately, but it is not known what the relationship was between the two brands and how the castings came to exist under both brands. ![]()

Lovely, well played with Porsche. I haven't heard the Baravelli name in years - tried to get some years ago but never succeeded. This is a nice one for your collection Dean.

I had to consult Dave and Kimmo's book. Is this the 1st model from this company ran for COTD? |

Good catch! Yes, this is the first Baravelli to be showcased as COTD. Giodi has yet to be represented here, as well, but I don't recall having any Giodi cars in my collection. |

Interesting that they chose to accentuate the tailpipes on this one and you can tell they used a simple 2 piece top and bottom mold since the spoiler drops straight down. |
