The Aral petrol station is made by Siku and was a load for the Hanomag-Henschel tractor with low loader transporter initially issued in 1975. The petrol station was in kit format that comprised 17 pieces which all slotted together. In 1978 the Hanomag-Henschel tractor unit was replaced with a Volvo F10 tractor unit. This set was finally withdrawn in 1985. Both had 3712 as the catalogue number. Made in Germany to 1:60th scale. I obtained this petrol station without a tractor unit and trailer many years ago.
The toy car in image one is a Hot Wheels GHF60 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and is part of the Nightburnerz series released in 2020. The model was designed by Ryu Asada and first issued in 2019. Also in this photo is a figure is from the Husky Models Garage Personnel Set issued in 1968 and is 1:64th scale.
The toy car in image two is a Schuco Modell 301-861 Renault R17 TS in 1:66 scale. This model is die-cast with a black interior, chrome accents, features opening doors and was also made Germany. It was produced in the early 1970s.
