They are both Rockets. However, please be aware the gold one has one wheel missing. I guess with Rockets that is not much of an issue.

Yes it is, good choice.

Been avoiding eBay lately for the most part but I bought a small lot mainly for a colour changer

It also came with this which has no markings at all, any ideas on brand or what it's supposed to be? Reminds me of the Cadillac Allante

Sadly arrived with the screen broken so has been Krystal Kleered

My reckoning is that it's a very, very poor rendition of a Mercedes R129. Funnily enough, I saw a real one being driven in Auckland last night, top down and with 4 people aboard!

 

Oh - and hi, everyone. Still dipping in to this thread semi-regularly to read updates but super busy with work at the moment, hence not many replies.

The black ones with hubcaps? Personally I like the 5 spokes in various colours, and the ones that look like Halibrands with the 3-eared spinner in the centre

Yeh, it's the ones pictured I'm after. I think I'll feel a bit bad for the horrible offspring it'll produce, but I guess it can go to the charity shop.

 

Is a wheel change easily done? I suppose Youtube will hold the answer.

Well I think so but I'm always messing about with die casts. YouTube is indeed your best bet, you can always glue the base back on if you don't have a 2mm tap and screws etc. 

Hopefully your new axles will be a suitable width!

[bunglebus]

So, what do you guys think of my little bug-ger?

I've got a couple of these from when they were first released as a premium casting, now it's a mainline Mattel have made some changes, including a different base which has put the front wheels a long way forward. Altered this as it looked a bit odd, other than that it's paint and detail really.

I had some really funky looking flame decals I wanted to use that one of you lot sent me, but they're so old they fell apart.  Cut these out of some left over from a 57 Chevy model kit I built as a teenager

Looks ace, reminds me a little of the old Tamiya Monster Beetle!

1970s tactile heaven vs awful 1980s husk.

MIRA!

SERIOUSLY!

DUDES!

That 205 looks like it was crafted after 10 pints! 
 

I’m living those Baja beetles 😎

I have one of those CX, the crummy wheels aside it’s a nice casting. The 205 though, it’s tat isn’t it, I have the Seat Ibiza of a similar era, if it didn’t say so on the base you’d have no clue as to what it was. Aren’t they both Mira? Guisval seemed much better by the 80’s. I seemed to remember a disproportions number of their models were advertising fags...
