Finding this made my heart jump -small scale find of the year for me ! Proper white primer under yellow candycoat -nothing dodgy looking at all.Printed brand tape is typical 1970s

It's great to see something new, excellent finds! A little googling shows a few Yum Yum brands, the one Nick mentioned and a Canadian company who sold crisps (potato chips) seem to be more prominent.

Thinking about it, I find it staggering that what appears to have been a promotional (= lots of publicity, significant numbers of models produced) can have remained under the radar for over forty years.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's a fake. Far from it. it looks 100% genuine and Mick's obviously very happy with it (at all levels), but are we missing something here? How is this possible?

Is this the only example that exists????

I have never seen or heard of this variation/promo......ever! Slightly odd :?

How about it being one of a trial batch for a promotion which never actually happened (c.f. 29d Racing Mini in gold)?

Very nice to see the Yum Yum donuts logo,thanks Nick :) . Colour is right,I bet this was made for that company but how on earth it got to Denmark in a collection of race cars I dont know.If they made one they made more,but who knows how many more,given to employees or important customers??
