I love this casting of Majorette. I have bunch of them, most of them in quite playworn condition so they are waiting for restoration.

These Racing ones are already partially restored from a quite bad starting point tampovise. When I found them in my childhood boxes, I noticed they are a wheel variation of each other. Didn't pay any attention to that when I was a kid and then they were in the boxes for almost 20 years.

I assume the one on the front is way more rare.

Interesting variation. Looks also like that the tampo is regular blue while in my cars it is metallic turquoise.

Ripa, the tampos and paint on the one in front don't look bad at all, where it almost seems it doesn't need a restoration job.

I think I have one in this color and decorations in my collection, but no idea which variation, I'll have to try and remember to check.

I've got one with black interior and one with red interior - both with 8-dot wheels, and the tampo colors appear to be the same on both.

I'd keep the one with the ring wheels as original, since it looks pretty nice as-is, and may be a fairly uncommon wheel variation.

Well, I did the restoration on the one on the front already. It was full.on paint chips also between the tampo and on all edges, but now it is presentable. The original condition can be found in a group shot in my restorations topic. Didn't need to take it apart though, just a little touchup

Looks like my original picture doesn't work - it had those two variations too
