Vintage Friction Drive Tinplate Toy Racing Car. MF 905 Made in China

What a wonderful Vintage Friction Drive Tinplate Toy Racing Car! Labelled on the box and car with MF 905 Made in China, and dates to the 1960s/70s. 

The tinplate car is red in colour and has a green racing driver's head protruding from the top which, unusually, is made from rubber.

A great addition to a tinplate collection.

Approximate Car Size:

• length: 22 cm 
• width:  8.5 cm
• Height: 6cm 

Condition:

In very good unused original condition, the plastic body has some minor surface scuffs where it has been in contact with the cardboard box.

• Friction power is working
• All four tyres are intact
• Original Box, which has slightly discoloured with age and has some creasing.

I haven’t been able to find anything about the manufacturer. MF tends to refer to the type of toy, in this case, trucks and cars, whereas ME are military vehicles.
