    Its great when one finds something old and unusual. I had an Attic;) find my self last week. But i cant for the life of me identify any history of it. Its a very old tin and wood Ferrari racer model of 1/12 scale. I asked if any one could help me identify its origins or any history details. But no one has helped as yet. I have been offered quite a premium on what i paid for it but i need to know about it first. Any body help me at all???

    No idea!
    In homedecorating shops they sold items that looked similar, those were polystone items made in china. they were "aged", but not genuinely old.
    Looks nice though...

    The kit in the back, is that a P4 in 1:12, which company made it?
    I thought only the p3 by minidelta was the only models that had metal rivets tobe glued to the body....

    My friend i know the difference between Polystone and Tin;) Its tin but thanks for your opinion. Even though i will consider it being made in China or India even. I like to buy any unusual 1/12 ferraris. It may not be, well infact it isnt anything at all but its unusual and looks nice......ish LOL!!!

    I had one bought me a couple of years ago. These are modern collectable tin models made in the far east. They are sold here in the Uk for £17.99 in various gift shops and charity shops, theres also an old Bentley type car as well. hope this helps.
