Pictured (from left to right) are the Volkswagen Golf Mark II and Volkswagen Mark II GTi Tomica Limited Vintage cars.
Volkswagen has presented the Golf as a long range replacement for the Volkswagen Beetle. The original Volkswagen Golf was designed by the legendary Italian designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Golf was released in 1974, and up to now, is Volkswagen's best selling model. Every generation of Golf has been a runner up in the European Car of the Year awards, except in 1992, when it actually won the award. The Golf name was derived from the German word for gulf stream. It was sold as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada.
This is the second non-Japanese car that Tomica released under it's Limited Vintage series. As usual, the details on these Golf cars are well done. Everything is well replicated and in my opinion, could probably be the best 1/64 scale Volkswagen Golf to come out of the market, sans the side mirrors. You would never have guessed that this model measures almost the same as a regular Hotwheels toy car. This car has a working suspension too!
