1967 Volkswagen Beetle

MSZ 1/64 Car: Volkswagen Beetle Year: 1967 Color: Baby Pink This nice MSZ VW Beetle was given to me. I really like the color of this one, a really nice shade of pink. Not much else to add really. Always nice to add an MSZ to my collection.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL

Majorette 1/64 Car: Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Year: 1990 Livery: 2002 Tokyo Yomiuri Giants The reason I got this casting is I think it is quite rare and it's nice to add a sports-themed car to my collection that isn't too tacky. The Yomiuri Giants are a baseball team from Tokyo and if I am not mistaken, they are one of the oldest sports teams in Japan. They are the most successful baseball team in Japan as they have won more than 20 Japan Series titles. The logos on this car say "2002 Giants" which is nice since the Yomiuri Giants won the Japan Series that year.

2012 Nissan Silvia Drift Car (S15) (Formula D)

Hot Wheels Premium 1/64 Nissan Silvia Car Culture 2-Pack (2024) Car: Nissan Silvia Drift Car (S15) Series: 2012 Formula D Team: RS-R Racing Driver: Toshiki Yoshioka Result: 12th The year listed is just an assumption since the 2012 Formula D entry was the closest one to the Hot Wheels casting, I think. I'm actually not very familiar with drift championships so what I listed might not be 100% accurate.

1997 Nissan Silvia GT300 (S14) #19 (JGTC)

Hot Wheels Premium 1/64 Car: Nissan Silvia GT300 (S14) #19 Series: 1997 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship Class: GT300 Team: RS-R Racing with Bandoh Drivers: Hideo Fukuyama, Manabu Orido Result: 1st in GT300 Now the shape of the casting isn't exactly the same as the GT300 car but the livery is based on the real car. In the 1997 JGTC season, the RS-R Racing with Bandoh team managed to win 2 races to win the GT300 championship. If I remember correctly, the championship was a close fight between the top 2 teams and I think the point differential was around 5 or less. For the following season, Team Bandoh would change to a Toyota Celica and would start a partnership with WedsSport which has continued on until today.

1969 Volvo P1800 Gasser 'Ain't No Saint'

Hot Wheels 1/64 Car: Volvo P1800 Gasser 'Ain't No Saint' Year: 1969 Series: 2021 Hot Wheels Legends Tour Result: Winner This Volvo P1800 Gasser is called the "Ain't No Saint" in real life. I am not really too familiar with it and only decided to get it because it won the 2021 Hot Wheels Legends Tour. I think Volvo castings aren't super common in 1/64 so this is a nice addition to my collection. I also believe that this is the first gasser car in my collection.

2005 Wiesmann GT MF4

Siku 1/55 Car: Wiesmann GT MF4 Year: 2005 Color: Orange As far as I know, Siku are the only ones who have produced a licensed Wiesmann model in the 3-inch diecast segment. They have 2 castings: the Roadster MF5 and this older GT MF4. The only reason I decided to get this one was so that I could add a Wiesmann to my collection. I am actually quite happy I did because I think this is done really well. This has been released in multiple colors but this Orange one is probably one of my favorites. If I am not mistaken, the Wiesmann GT MF4 is powered by a BMW V8 engine. Sadly, I don't know much about Wiesmann and I'm actually not sure if they are still around today.

1997 Mercedes-Benz A Class

Realtoy 1/64 Car: Mercedes-Benz A Class Year: 1997 Color: Light Purple Metallic I am not sure if this color was actually offered by Mercedes but I do think it's really nice. This Realtoy casting is not in a perfect condition but I think it's acceptable. Every time I add a Realtoy casting to my collection, I feel sad knowing that they are no longer in the market.

1997 Toyota Crown Comfort Taxi

80M Model 1/76 Car: Toyota Crown Comfort Taxi Year: 1997 Livery: Hong Kong - Red This was given to me by someone who's pretty special to me. This is actually my first encounter with the 80M Model brand and upon doing some research, it seems that most of their models are based on Hong Kong public transport vehicles. I listed this one as a 1997 model since it seems to be based on the first version of the Toyota Crown Comfort and I remember reading somewhere before that these were first used as taxis in Hong Back back in 1997. This model I think is not licensed by Toyota since there are no badging on the car but it is still a pretty well done example. It's nice to add another real life taxi to my collection and this will go well with the ComfortDelGro taxis that I have from Tomica.

1979 Nissan Diesel CW V8 Mixer (Mk. 2)

Tomica 1/64 Tomica No. 53 (1981) Car: Nissan Diesel CW V8 Mixer (Mk. 2) Year: 1979 Color: White, Blue, and Yellow I had this same casting when I was younger. That one was in a lot worse shape than this example I am showing today. I've seen this casting listed as a Nissan Diesel Resona but from what I've researched, the Resona brand name was only used starting in 1983 and the headlights on that version of the Nissan Diesel mixer was different. The headlights on this one are rounded while the Resona had rectangular headlights. The year I listed here is just a guess but I would like to think it is close enough.

2009 Auto Staff Suehiro Ouroboros

Tomica 1/64 Tomica No. 75 (2011) Car: Auto Staff Suehiro Ouroboros Year: 2009 Color: Orange and Black The actual name of this casting is "Znug design Ouroboros". It is actually not a car but a tricycle. If I am not mistaken, this is the first motorcycle-based vehicle I have in my collection. After doing some research, I learned that the Ouroboros was commissioned by a Japanese motorcycle shop called Auto Staff Suehiro. The designer and developer of the vehicle I believe was znug design which was founded by Kota Nezu who used to work for Toyota. I think it's a really interesting vehicle but I can't really find too much information on it, perhaps most are in Japanese which is why I have trouble finding them.

2001 Volkswagen New Beetle RSi

Edocar 1/72(?) Car: Volkswagen New Beetle RSi Year: 2001 Color: Cyber Green Metallic This is my first Edocar-branded casting. It's actually a new casting to me too since I've actually never seen this one before. It seems to be that the scale is closer to 1/72 than 1/64. The casting seems to be based on the New Beetle RSi trim which was a limited version. I believe it is the rarest New Beetle version but I am not 100% sure. If I am not mistaken, the real car was actually offered in Silver but this color seems to be very close to the Cyber Green Metallic factory color that is offered on standard New Beetles.
