Hello Pierkemimi, the particular model you have shown is a typical basic toy made in China by one of the more established toy companies like 'PLAYART' or 'YATMING'. It is shown on it's blister card for the Italian markets and the distributor's 'Logo' for this is shown in the bottom left corner and they are a fairly well established toy manufacturer and distributor by the name of 'GIOCHI PREZIOSI', founded in 1978.

I don't have a listing of the models in this particular range, so I don't know how many are likely to have been made, but I hope the above helps.

Recently got this interesting matchbox BOX COPY. "Multipla" is a shop in Japan selling model cars such as Matchbox, Tomica, etc. It's interesting that the shop created this matchbox style box as packaging for its promotional model which is a tomica.

WOW, what a combination, Japanese model shop making British 'Look-a-Like' boxes with Italian Fiat Multipla artwork, all topped off with a Japanese model based on a German Porsche made in China...!

The model was made in Vietnam actually. Nevertheless, what an astonishing insight you haveļ¼
