Colors are near perfect and spectacular. The front wheels may be set straight or turned two notches left or right for operation. Toy marking are Electro Special, Y Yonezawa, ETC (Tommy). Battery compartment holds (1) one D battery.
There is a forward/reverse lever to the left of the helmeted driver. How many exist in working condition and with original parts is unknown. On page 209 of the book The Big Book of Tin Toy Cars by Ron Smith and William C. Gallagher it states that these toy race cars can be very scarce.I have examined the car and I know it is a beautiful blue all original version except the battery cover which I had professionally replaced. The car has very nice color and detail. The lower body behind the front wheels has some minor professional touch up. The windshield shows some flaking of the chrome coating. This just accents the originality of the toy.
This is a truly scarce/rare Collectable battery operated race car from the 1950s. Check out the action and ask any questions prior to the last day of the sale. The collector value on these great race cars will keep going up.
So true when you have a beautiful one like this. The toy is 10 (25cm) in length. Please zoom in and check out the quality of this beauty.Yes, it works perfect, both forward and backward. Please understand your costs of bringing this toy racer into your country.
