Politoys - Lancia Beta Berlina, 1/43 scale, Made in Mexico


The baseplate of the model shows Polistil. Castings of all Politoys/Polistil models were sent to Mexico after ceasing production in Italy and numerous interesting variations of the originals were made. I have two versions of this model made in Italy in a blue and grey metallic.  This one is rather 'original' in colour and it has a roof rack carrying bottles of Tequila? :-)!  Acquired in July 2012.

Lancia Stratos, Tomica, No. F27, 1/57 scale, released in 1977
Probably the most well known Lancia in modern times which has inspired countless model manufacturers. TOMY has issued several versions and this one must be one of the earliest and am very happy to have one in my Lancia collection.

Lancia

I'm reverting to the Solido model of the Lancia Flaminia coupĂ© (I had shwon photos previously...).  It was issued under No. 121 in 1961 and remained in production till 1967.  In 1961 it was the first ever toy car at 1/43 scale produced with opening doors.

As Lancia is my favourite brand, I have been looking out for variations over the years and here i can present you my eight different versions.  The baseplates also differ, myself having identified two versions.  My last acquisition was the white one.


Solido No 121, Lancia Flaminia Coupé

Three sand tones and three different interior colours.

Three reddish tones, all metallic with two different interior colours.

A white one and a silver one with red interiors.

You can differentiate the red tones better in this photo.

I would love to hear from anyone who has identified a different version
