#496 POLITOYS-E - MERCEDES C-111 (E-16) and OSI BISILURO (E-25) (1971)

These are two more models made by Politoys in 1:43 scale. Both belong to the E-Series, launched in 1971 and characterizes for having fewer details than the M-Series (that came a few years earlier and were extremely detailed for a 1:43 model. They show more similarities with the “Export” series, which was the budget line of politoys during the last years of the 60s decade.

A complete list of Politoys models (not only the E-series) can be found in the Italian Wikipedia.

I have nothing else to add to what I said in previous Politoys/Polistil/Penny entries, so I’ll simply publish the images, and wish you all a happy new year 2015!
