Thank you very much for the track set photo's. Very interesting.
Were there any other Matchbox items like garages, other track sets, carry cases or play sets made in Brazil?
Generally you only read about the cars as that's what most people are interested in.
Here in New Zealand some items like a carry case and a couple of the cardboard road ways were made under licence.
Cheers, Steve

Sorry for delay in reply, I believe that the company roly toys made a few plastic parts here in Brazil, this month I saw a collector selling in brazilian forum a crane truck with the gray plastic part that I had never seen before, I do not know if it exists if someone can help here in the forum..

I feel very confident that Roly or Inbrima did not make their own plastics.
I suspect that Inbrima piece you show had the part transplanted from a later off-shore Matchbox model:

Very interesting Hudson. It is worthy of note that all the plastic pieces you have shown us have 'Roly toys' written into the plastic moulding. Why did Roly toys do this?
I do feel that there is a lot of merit in the observation made by David and would consider his suggestion as very likely to explain the plastic jib on the crane model.
Given the evidence of plastic work you presented and the presence of ''Roly toys'' written in the moulding, it would seem reasonable to presume that if the crane jib was a plastic piece moulded by Roly toys then it would have ''Roly toys' cast into the plastic. Are you in a position to check this?

I also really think that the crane part was placed from a more recent piece to be rarer, I can not see why this miniature is not mine, as the plastic pieces are from the set that I posted the pictures in the Portuguese language ..
Those are really nice! Thanks for sharing them. I have never seen the 42, 28 and 21 in that late issue dark green color. What color is the plastic tailgate on the #21 Renault?

I put photos of how I found the collection,matchbox, siku, majorette, all manaus, the collection was of two brothers one play a lot with the models other not, so there are many models repeated one played and another not so much, luckily some inbrima were not played , just so here in Brazil to make sure they are original, I put more pictures of the models too, thanks !!

Looks like a really fun collection! That 21 Renault is in such amazing condition. Looks like there is glue residue from one of those large, white Manaus labels. I have only seen the Inbrima versions of that Renault in blue/white, white/silver and yellow/silver before. I was shown pictures of another collection from Brazil which was owned by two brothers. All the the castings were duplicated and kept in really nice condition. Everything has to be perfectly even with kids or there is fighting
Here is a recent addition to my collection of another later issue casting. I have only seen the Inbrima 67 Datsun in this unique pink-orange/salmon color. I have not seen this color on another Inbrima model. It is much more orangy than the rose-pink color usually found on the Inbrima 28 Lincoln Continental. It is probably most similar to some of the color shades on the standard UK 8B Mustang Wildcat Dragster. Have you seen this pink-orange color on another Brazilian casting?
(thanks for resizing the picture Ghosthunter, I realized my mistake with the picture size after I uploaded. I fixed it in my post)
