Thanks Beatlefan it's called a Classic Convertible Custom made and it's made by Zima made in Hong Kong it's a neat car but got some paint rub and a tad too small but still looking good

He looks very happy with his new vehicle!

Nice ride! I see online there is a red version and also a blue remote controlled version too!

That Roller looks vintage to me, It could have been made for Barbie? or a similar type doll. I saw a vintage Barbie car at a booty once and the seller wanted £40 for it, she said it fetches high prices on ebay. You should take good care of it

Cheers Ross pity about the silver chrome effect paint missing I'm going to have a go at painting it back in when I find the best colour match

Thanks Clive yes thats what I thought Barbie or Sindy, But as always had to try to squeeze one of my guys into it I'm going to try to touch it up but need to find some paint that has a chrome shine to it

Bowie is riding in style...

Love that Rockin' Roller...

Boogaloo dudes...

Hawkeye,

Humbrol used to do a proper chrome spray paint for plastic, but you might have to undercoat first, it can also take ages to fully dry. Try their website:
