The wee Ferrari Dino 246 GT all geared up for the 3rd Tour of Italy (Giro d'Italia) of 1975. The model is by the late Anson Models of Hong Kong. Early Ansons were focused on European cars and I thought this little rally equipped Dino was too cute to pass up.

That's cool looking model.  For a long time, Anson was the only source for a Dino.  I almost bought one numerous times, but ended up getting a Hot Wheels (non Elite) version when they were released.

These early Ansons were relatively crude compared to your Hot Wheels.
