Diapet Yonezawa, one of my favorite brands in 40ish scale finally gave me the break from collecting JDMs. I am always on the lookout for these Euro cars but most of the time I get to buy the usual Diapet Minis or the usual Lambo supercars. It was a welcome change to finally bag this very rare BMW 3.5 CSL in red, complete with a very pristine box and an A1 condition mint specimen.
This casting is very beautiful, well crafted and looks tough. This toy was meant to be played with and good thing one collector saved this rare gem from a kid and kept the car in pristine condition. Thanks to collectors like us, we safe keep the cool diecast of today and yesterday for the future collectors in the future.
These toys keep us young, at least young at heart.
Collecting these rare beautiful toys gives me joy, a special kind of high only a fellow collector would understand. More to come soon.
Wow, great catch Bri! =)
ReplyDeletethanks Jovet! I really like this casting, my very first retro cool BMW
ReplyDeleteLove vintage diecast and old-school euro!
ReplyDeleteThanks Komenda! as a matter of fact, I just bought an Eidai Grip BMW 3.0 CSL also in red, around 1:28 scale and a Tyrell Ford Formula 1 in 20th scale too. The Tyrell is a sight to behold, an oldschool F1 marvel.
