This is a
car I got many years ago in a flea market. It is not in its best shape: has a
couple of paint chips, and is missing one piece of metal left of the front
windshield. However, its decoration is quite intriguing; this can be read on
the bonnet of the car:
TOMICA
NO. 5
TOYOTA 2000GT
‘’70 ~ 80’’
3,000,000
LAST 2000GT
I didn’t
pay much attention to this until a few months ago, and I started looking for
information on the internet. I just found one reference for it: http://miniaturecardays.blog6.fc2.com/blog-date-200711.html
The blog is
written in Japanese, and using an online translator I could understand much.
Apparently, the guy found the car in a thrift shop, and doesn’t know anything
about it. The guy who commented has also never seen it, and they both think it
is a rarity. I wanted to leave a comment, but the Japanese captcha was too much
for me.
This car
could be a (very) limited released from year 1980 when the model was
discontinued. The car was sold over 3,000,000 times, so Tomica maybe wanted to
pay homage for the good business.
If you know
more about this ultra rare Tomica, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
