![]() Today's car of the day is Zylmex's 1974 Lancia Stratos. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Lancia Stratos ![]() ![]() This version of the Zylmex Stratos is a later release, as evidenced by the dotted wheels and tampos; earlier versions had the Zylmex 5-spoke wheels and paper stickers. This casting was still being used well into the 1990's, released in plain red, also fitted with the dotted wheels. It is casting number D56. ![]()

Yes, it is simple. For simple it is well done. This is the kind of obscure diecast that appeals to me. |

Gotta love those early D-series Zylmex cars - great stuff one could find on the pegs of these cheap/bottom end diecast!

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Obscure applies to both the diecast AND the real car. I actually did a custom of the HW Stratos many moons ago. It was one of my first tries at using nail polish lacquer as paint. I thought it made what I considered one of my uglier diecasts look better. Zylmex always intrigues me. |

The Stratos is one of the centers of my collection. This casting’s front end is unique, and this is a great example, I love it! |
