Rare collectors model in 1:43 scale by Ebbro of Japan, brand new in original packaging, Ebbro item number 43261.

This is a finely detailed model of the #1 TOM's-Schnitzer Toyota Celica Gr5 Turbo. The Group 5 Celica was a very successful contender in both Japanese and International events, and this car represents the most famous Japanese version as driven by Tom's co-founder Nobuhide Tachi.

Ebbro models are collectors items, made in diecast metal and using many other materials for detailing where appropriate. This model, like all the Ebbro racing car series, has incredible levels of detail and finish. Features include accurate cast alloy racing wheels with low profile Dunlop race tyres, fully detailed brakes with brake discs and brake calipers. Other external features include all correct race markings and sponsorships, external rear view mirrors, door handles, spoilers and vents and windscreen wiper. The underside of the model is also nicely finished with exhaust system, engine and transmission parts where visible, plus drivetrain and suspension detail.

The interior is equally well detailed, with race seat and harness, fully detailed instrument panel, steering wheel, centre console with gearshift and minor controls and gauges, full roll cage plus fire extinguisher and various other race related details.

Ebbro models are amongst the finest 1:43 scale models of their type available. Detail and finish are absolutely top class and second to none in this price range. All are limited editions, this item being one of only 2640 pieces originally produced for worldwide distribution. These are individually hand assembled pieces and are not toys. This item is brand new in original unmarked packaging.
