Created by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti (who also designed for Triumph, Leyland and BMW), the second generation Hino Contessa was launched in September 1964, followed by the coupe in 1965. The coupe in particular won a concours d'elegance award (competition of elegance). However, the car had major issues like overheating. This was addressed by putting a radiator at the back of the car to help dissipate the heat.This was one of the early releases of Tomica in their Limited Vintage line. Though the detail is not at par with their recent releases, I still think that they did a decent job. The green taxi is part of the Toys Club three car set which was released in February 2005.
