Yesterday I visited a newspapers magazines shop near home and there it was the #2 issue of the new Microcars partwork collection by Altaya. It was only 6,99 euros and as I have a 1/1 Vespa I decided I also need the only Vespa car built in my collection...

FEBRERO 2023

ACMA Vespa 400 by Altaya

The model is simply but very nice. Detailed pics soon.

Cheers

Looks like a very neat little model.  That 1:1 pic seems to indicate that only ONE adult could fit inside. Is that true?

Nice one Keko! Here is the old Dinky Toy, made in France.

@bob-jackman Sorry, I wanted to say that I have a Vespa motorcycle... not that a Vespa car, but as I'm a Vespa lover this model was a must have for me.

Not a Vespa but a Lambretta small truck and a "Tuk Tuk"    The Lambretta is a Mercury model with their number 216.  The TukTuk is a Universal Hobbies item in the James Bond series from the movie Octopussy.

1960 Lambretta, TukTuk

@keko-romero Keko; I understand that the Vespa marque is somewhat iconic in Europe; is that correct?

@jack-dodds Of course!! Although the Vespa car was something anecdotal, the Vespa motorcycle is being sold in millions all over the world. A true icon in the popular culture.
