ABOUT THE MODEL

Issued under Vitesse Group name and number, the model made by CINERIUS, Ltd. the company that made all SKID models.

1/43 scale is the most popular, one of the oldest, international scale used for die cast cars models.
SKID was a part of Vitesse Group they specialized in Rally cars. Now, after a bankruptcy of the Vitesse Group, company actually divided in two. Vitesse name along with most streetcars dies went to Sun Star (was actual manufacturer of most street cars, developer and owner of many dies) and the company that now we know as IXO. I believe that a company that now runs IXO manufactured SKID models.
Vitesse/SKID manufactured highly detailed, accurate model, very accurate imprints; one of the best 1/43 scale die cast model maker
Model came in its own acrylic display case with mirrored corner and COA.
IN CONCLUSION – very good model of very good, attractive car! I still have few models but inventory is running low, Became difficult to find.
