Tomica 1/64 Isuzu Bellett PR95 - 1971-onwards model

[dave]

Hey guys,

PR91 Brett brought this little nugget to my attention; somehow it didn't appear on my phone-based eBay searches because, well, technology.

So, how awesome is that? 1/64 scale is, unfortunately, very small (around same size as a Matchbox/Hot Wheels car; perhaps a bit smaller) but the fact that someone has actually done a model of a PR95-era Bellett GT is very cool; ie this is the first model I've seen with the 'mask' front and the Lego-style tail lights.

The fact that it's the same as my GTR (which has the chassis # PR91...just saying) is a total bonus.

I have bought two!

There are several different sellers with them, but THIS guy (the guy I just bought two from) is offering free postage to Australia.

Appears to be a March 2014 release; wondered why I hadn't seen them before!

I'm excited!


Cheers,


Dave

Got mine Dave C, it has the centre aerial in a small plastic bag!! All good, placed amongst my diecast GTR's!!

[dave]

I've put the aerial on the GTR in the cabinet, but not on the one that's Blu-tacked to my monitor at work! Kept the aerial in the box in my drawer; it was pretty flimsy.


Cheers,

Dave

Tomica do/did a nice version of the Isuzu Hillman Minx in the same scale. They come up from time to time on evilbay at prices between "Bargain!" and "You are joking".I paid about $20 plus postage for mine and despite being small it is nicely detailed, even down to the two tone upholstery inside. This would be a late model (1963/4) Super Deluxe

[Retroasted]

I managed to get a teardrop deluxe sedan and the hex tailaight police car. They do go well with the Hot Wheels adult line (long ago obsolete) of the black box/100%

[BULLITT]

the super minx is a beauty and I did see a genuine one on ebay for sale a while ago in w.a..and it had the spotlights .. he was wrecking the car and I asked him for a price on the spotties they are so close to the bellett ones probably the same factory made ...he didn't get back to me I let it go ...there will be others ...and luke you have a nice set of cars also cheers davo

nice collection retroasted, i have a few of the same hotwheels! must get them out for a photo shoot one day with the belletts!
