This lot comprises three model racing cars constructed from metal and plastic components. The collection includes a blue open-wheel racer featuring a tapered boat-tail rear, brown plastic hood straps, and a chrome-finished side exhaust. A large white numeral 3 is printed on the hood and the rear. The second vehicle is a maroon tourer with a black textured plastic folding roof in the lowered position and a chrome-finished radiator grille. The third vehicle is a burgundy open-top racer with two blue cylindrical fuel tanks mounted to the rear. This model features a black rectangular plate at the front bearing the printed characters 10679 VA. The models are designed with free-wheeling axles and plastic wheels.
