WOW!, that’s exactly the sort of thing I was considering, bonkers and awesome at the same time, I think there’s a few Hot Wheels/real life vehicles but not sure if they were designed from the models or the other way around. I don´t know the name and what was there first, model or real car, but there is a BMW Isetta Dragster in both versions.  |

The Corgi British Vita Mini Sprint.  I have one. HotBox'd of course.  Its an unusual car because I'm pretty sure the sprint chop was a fair bit more savage than most sprints  Never knew this existed, but I used to take my Mini to Goodliff Racing in Littleborough for a tune up. The guy on the rolling road knew how to fettle an SU needle to perfection! |

The Transit Supervan probably belongs here Supervan 1  Hotwheels. A very nice model. I scored one at Sandown when they were first available. Still unopened.  Supervan 2  Matchbox  Supervan 3  Not available as a diecast, but is available as a resin from Spark. 1,2,and 3 are available from Spark. Nice.  Very nice. |

I didn't know Hotwheels did the transit until I found that one, authough most of the cars I buy are American hotrod types, it was very much a 'take-my-money' moment lol.It suprises me quite how many of the cars in this thread I would have assumed are fantasy cars, but are actually based on something that existed. Ive got a picture in my head of another old corgi or matchbox car that may have been based on something but I trying to sort out what it was
