Also note the Siku copied/inspired logo on the card

Interesting copy, shockwavetrading! Haven't seen this before.

I found this copy of the Hondarora today in German Ebay.

I've got a couple of these, same brand but on different packaging. I also have the bike in a number of different colours. From memory I think a big and little bike are packaged together.

Cheers Steve

Here's one I didn't know existed - found them while looking for something else on the auction site... bet Ghosty knows something about them!!

Metosul #12 in Dark Blue: and in White:

I always wanted to find those boxed Metosul models from Spain.

Hi Guys, the Silver Ghost appears to be the only 'Models of Yesteryear' tooling used by 'METOSUL' for it's new metal based model range launched in 1964. The Rolls-Royce coming to market around 1968, in a range of normal colours and fully closed boxes with really nice artwork showing the model. The model was re-issued in bright White, metallic steel-Blue or dark Blue in new yellow 'window' boxes for 1980, the last year of production for most of the metal models in the range.

Thanks Ghosty - figured you'd know a bit more about the Metosul RR.... now all I have to do is find some!

This is one I haven't seen before, it's on a buy-it-now (or offer) if anyone is interested:

Here is a plastic copy of the 'Yesteryear' Y-5(A). This was marketed by 'TELSALDA' as model number 20698, but the model has the number 719 moulded onto the baseplate, so clearly another model in the vast range sourced from another company.
