#1017 REDONDO – McLAREN SERENISSIMA F.1. (Around 1970)

In entry #194 I already introduced the brand Redondo as a die-cast manufacturer with two formula ones in bad condition, and I updated the entry later with a formula one in a keyring.
 
Today I am presenting three more formula ones, but all new in their boxes. Unfortunately, they are all the same reference and cast: Nr. 12 McLaren Serenissima, but, at least, this will help me showing the variety of each model regarding colours of the body and accessories (in this case the spoiler). They are all completely different from each other. They are based in Penny models, but unlike this Italian brand, whose references were always painted in the same way.

Curiously, the stickers are all the same, and really correspond to the McLaren. In later reissues, some stikers would be applied randomly on the model.

The box is a jewel case with white base and clear cover (with the Redondo logo on the top). The price tag marks 19 pesetas (12 euro cents). The red label with the car name and reference is also a nice detail, so each box had to be peersonalized for each car.
