Hey Guys

It is still working, the car has little flashlites that flashes when you drive in the taillight. Size is 25cms so I think its 1:25 :?: :?: I like the way the details are. I think its based on this model:

Am I right or what :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yup, its this car.
Will you let it like it is now, or you make Longs Trans Am or something like that?

You just brought memories.....I had this toy when i was a kid as soon as the first few episodes of the original Knight Rider came out back in 82.

Totally forgot about this toy....great find!
