GUISVAL EX PILEN SEAT 600 1/43

Thank heavens Guisval castings invariably enjoy long production runs! I first bought one of their Seat 600 models in this exact same colour minus the whitewall tyres way back in 2002 whilst on holiday in Tenerife. Despite keeping it in mint condition and stored in its original box when it came to photographing it for Flickr when I first joined here back in 2012 I was shocked to find it had succumbed to metal fatigue. And when I say succumbed I mean it literally collapsed into a pile of rotten metal!
Fast forward to late 2024 when I was in Spain previously, I visit to the newly relocated Retro Toys in Sitges meant I was able to find this brand new release and one which I hope lasts longer than the last!
I don't normally collect 1/43 scale diecasts but due to the small size of the real Seat 600 this still comfortably fits into my "three inches" parameters and is roughly the same size as the Welly equivalent.
Quality does appear much improved though i'm still not too confident in opening those opening doors too frequently ;-p
Mint and boxed.
