I've been told this color wasn't originally sold in the NA market, but can't confirm that. I had one of these in my childhood fleet, I think it was silver. Nice accuracy all around, especially for a small pocket money car from almost 40 years ago:

Not much more to say, just a fine little model, and a fine example of the brand.
