ABOUT THE MODEL 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 street cars 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 SKID models were manufactured by a company the now runs IXO.
Vitesse/SKID manufactured highly detailed, accurate model, very accurate imprints; one of the best 1/43 scale die cast model maker
WHILE A MODEL OF THIS CAR IN THE LIVERY “CASTROL” STILL BE EASY TO FIND THIS ONE IS A RARE ONE!. Please notice that due to regulations a tobacco company advertisement is not allowed to be reproduced on toy products, (even this is not a toy but a model) therefore Marlboro logo presented on this model in a way of vertical stripes. In my personal opinion this is B.S. but who cares about collectors opinion.
Model came in its own acrylic display case with mirrored corner and COA.
I have more models by Skid, Onyx, and Vitesse in stock, as well many other manufacturers
IN CONCLUSION – very good model of very good, attractive car!
