[Review] Tomica Toyota Celica Turbo

I had a few minutes free this afternoon, so I thought I'd post another review of a vintage diecast. I know several people here like old Japanese metal, so that's what I picked. This time, it is a 1:62 scale Toyota Celica Turbo (widebody, group 5 car), introduced in 1979. These were racing cars tuned by Schnitzer. First off, here's a pic of the real thing:

And now the model. As usual for Tomica, the detail is quite good:

It has the wider style racing wheels, which roll smooth and fast:

Headlight lenses are a nice detail:

Photography is sloppy, but the model is LHD, with a weird racing seat:

All in all, a nicely detailed model of an almost unknown car
