This is a rare collectors model in 1:43 scale by M Tech of Japan, brand new in original packaging, M Tech item number 48680.

The Colt Galant debuted in 1969, and the sporty Galant GTO series was added the following year. Of the three models in this series, the MR was fitted with Mitsubishi Motor’s first DOHC 1.6-liter engine, which produced 125 hp and a maximum speed of 200 km/h, featuring a true high-performance car with sporty interior and exterior styling as well as a reinforced chassis. This is the 1970 Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO-MR version finished in authentic white with gold stripes, as displayed in the Toyota Automobile Museum in Japan.

This model features accurate wheels with polished rims and proper profile tyres, and a nicely modelled body finished in authentic white that captures the shape and stance of the original car perfectly. Other features include finely moulded window frames, photo etched windscreen wipers, external rear view mirrors, plated bumpers and all correct stripes and badges.

The interior is also very well done, with steering wheel and column switches, detailed dashboard and instrument panel with all controls and other features shown, rear view mirror, centre console with gearshift lever and handbrake, detailed door trims with all correct handles, window winders and armrests plus proper contoured and coloured seats.

M Tech 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. These items are now out of production and sold out in most markets so therefore very difficult to locate. The model comes mounted on a black plastic plinth with clear plastic display box and outer cardboard window box. This item is brand new in original unmarked packaging.
