Although certainly no Matchbox, this Gingell Ferrari Testarossa is surprisingly ok for a company which produced poor quality diecasts not designed to stand the test of time. The casting is fairly crisp although predictably the paint quality isn't brilliant. Part of a 25 vehicle set dating from around 1989/90. Mint and boxed.
This was one of the Ferraris on display at the Footman James Classic Car Show at EventCity Manchester in September 2017. It's a 1987 Ferrari Testarossa, a car produced by Ferrari from 1984 to 1991 with revised versions, the 512TR and the F512M, produced in 1991 and 1994 respectively. The Testa Rossa has a V12 engine with a capacity of 4,943cc.

Finished in a rather nice black paintjob is this Ferrari Testarossa. I believe the original factory color name for it is "Nero" so that is what I listed. This one has some sort of playability to it in the form of the pop up headlights. At the base of the car, there is some sort of lever that you can play around with to raise the headlights of the car. I actually took a photo of the car in a similar angle with the headlights popped up but I preferred the look of the closed headlights.
2 Deluxe models by Majorette. In the late 80's Majorette released a series of plastic 1/64 scale detailed super cars. The use of plastic is easier to allow detailing, and avoids the use of paint which can cover up casting details. They are unsatisfyingly light but compared to the Matchbox detailed models of the same period they're more realistic by far. I also have a Countach, Jaguar XJS and Porsche 911 in the same series - I'll track down the last model, which is a Rolls Royce Corniche, when I see one for a sensible price. They were marketed as models, and would have cost about 3 times more than the ordinary Majorette models but do have an excellent level of detail. Both models have opening side doors and engine lids and rubber tyres.
One of the first exotics I ever shot and sadly I was using film and scanning the negatives so this pictures are freaking tiny and it sucks. I should rescan the negatives again one of these days. This was shot on the campus of Idaho State University.
