#1070 GAMA - GAMA-MINI VW1302 (Ref. 898) (around 1978)

Gama cars are great, as you could see in previous entries. They are also difficult to find, as they were not intended as toys, but as adult collector pieces. That is maybe why they are so rare to spot. 

I cannot recall anymore where did I buy this one, but it probably was in december 2018. It is not in its best shape, but I liked that the previous owner decorated it with "5" and "3" stickers to make it resemble Herbie, the famous movie-star. If it was mint, it would be a great collectable, as it represents one of the most iconic cars of all time. 

The model is made in 1:43 scale and has opening doors. Despite the paint chips, it still has all four lights, which seem to be fragile. Other nice feature are the realistic hubcaps and the suspension of its wheels, which makes the car very comfortable to move around.
