There are collectors' pages on the internet where this casting is attributed to HTi Teamsterz. So who is (now again) the manufacturer of this car, which can still be found on the internet under other label names? Dickie or Majorette or Teamsterz or ... Probably like the Maisto, McToy, Edocar and Corgi models, all made in China by the ominous * May Cheong *. Must be so similar here and maybe again * May Cheong * involved (?). For me still very exciting cars! ![]() POLICE sold under Teamsterz-label ![]() *DKG2* number or brand (?) ------- ![]() POLITIE ![]() ![]() *B4* number ------- ![]() POLICE FORCE from DICKIE ------- ![]() POLICE from MAJORETTE ![]() *B4* number ![]() Edited by EDeKa, Mar 22 2018, 08:35 AM.

I am not 100% sure but I have always thought Dickie because the base has Dickie number "DKG-2" and Dickie wheels |

THANK YOU Risto - that could be the solution, I have to see if I can find out more about it. Here is another Ford Crown in English POLICE version with the odd number *DKG2* . ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The debate still rages on to who actually makes this Realtoy copied Crown Victoria, I have an obscene amount of them and other associated castings and catalogue them as HTI even though I know they only import them into the UK for themselves under their Teamsterz brand and for other retailers, I'm aware they don't actually manufacture them. I'm still not convinced they are made by Dickie Toys either as this casting is sold Worldwide under various brands in countries where they compete with Dickie such as here in the UK with HTI etc....Why would they produce cheap unlicensed castings when they have Majorette in their fold and a small licensed line up of their own? If I was a betting man I would say they are made by some unknown Chinese factory who are contracted to make the Russian themed Technopark models, they share the same wheels and manufacturing techniques and I have a few ETI branded sets which contain a mixture of unlicensed castings sold under HTI Dickie and Serox names along with Russian Technopark models which have Chinese writing on them! Confused? I know I am! Lol |

Yes - it's very difficult, but that's why it's very exciting. THANK YOU for your comments - very interesting - I have to think about it in detail. I will be hiking in Scotland next week and maybe I will find some new Teamsterz (HTi) models. But I know from a visit to London that it's not that easy. |

Oh I'm sure you'll find plenty of HTI Teamsterz stuff if you visit the main retailers. Unfortunately you'll find that 99.9% of their new castings are horrifically generic and unrealistic. I think you are going to be VERY disappointed at the 1:64 diecasts available here in the UK :-( |

That would not be so bad, mainly we would like to hike through beautiful nature AND of course a whiskey tasting in a distillery is also planned.
