This car was made by Playart A toy company in Hong Kong that specialized in die-cast cars, similar in size and style to Hot Wheels, Matchbox or Tomica. The years that the cars were made were uncertain, but appear to have been from approximately the 1970s through the 1980s. Plastic cars and trucks of other sizes, trains and other theme toys were also produced.

it is a prince R 380. popular on the japanese grand prix circuit. a very quick car.

I don't see how you get that to be a Prince R380. The headlights are the wrong shape and the R380 doesn't have the louvred rear window.

you are referring to the later version of the same car. when nissan took over they redesigned the body.. this was the mark 2. i just sold the yodel nissan prince r380 model kit on ebay a couple of weeks ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-24-yodel-niss ... 1401975658 i still have a 1/32 mrrc vac of a original prince r380. the original looks like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NISSAN-RACING-C ... 46208048a8. i used to subscribe to the great japanese magazine "model cars" .. most of it in japanese printing. the rs 380 is as big in japan as the ford gt 40 is in the states. actually it is really popular in all of asia. my model kit went to hong kong. by the address i have a strange feeling it will be re released in some form of resin kit in the near future.

upon putting on better reading glasses it is a mura. i did not see the motor in the wind shield or the louvres in the back window. it is a 1/43 like slot car and to my knowledge artin never produced a rs 380 but they did do a mura. . that first photo was a little misleading. although it is a rendition of a lamborghini it is a rather poor one. https://www.google.com/search?q=lamborg ... 66&bih=657. when mikey gets around to doing a mura , i am sure his will be much better. much,much better. anyway good job old mike.
