Unfortunately I canīt write in perfect English, but might be you can understand my things... I am very glad to find the writing about the Tomica models, because not easy to find the good information about Tomica models in Internet (more Japanese web page unknow for my PC). Of course I collect the Matchbox models nd other small scale models and I think you can accept the news about the new model. If I know good, the Hungarian METCHY: SUBARU IMPREZA RALLY it is the first in 1/57 scale of world. The Hungarian Oil Company sponsored rally team got in ī96 the car, but not available this type models (in small scale), because started the promotioanal model production. The first master model was more better than this, but unfortunately in this class the first only the economical produce...but I think the result very good from the small factory. I think the original Subaru coloured model will be better, if I can find the good wheels (do you have possibility to help me to find the wheel, eg: 7 spoked HotWheels wheels?) and I can take the decals... Please see the enclosed picture: subaru.jpg (or bmp) The first MOL promotional model was the Matchbox MB 52 FORD ESCORT COSWORTH "MOL" rally : escorth.jpg I donīt know, how many collector collect the "extrame" variation of original model, but might be interest the Hungarian made models (both type produced with original works machine!), I have few Hungarian SIKU models: siku.jpg and some Hungarian made Corgi Juniors: Citroen Dyane and others models: dyane.jpg. I also have the last Yugoslavian model what produced before the war, the Yugo 45: yugo.jpg Of course I can send you more information in future, I always interested all news about the modelcars-world! I must do apologize you for my all fault (I am very beginner to use the PC) Yours sincerely: Gábor Berki P.S.: Please donīt send back my pictures, because I have the very slow modem in home PC, thanks! Lets see if I understand - the picture is that of a hungarian produced limited edition subaru?? That model is not the most popular subaru in the US, the legacy wagon is much more popular, but I will add your letter and picture to my car type page under "subaru". How much wold this model cost in $US, or is it still available? It looks lvery nice. Who is the manufacturer, or is this a tomica?? I don't recognize the wheels.
