4. Politoys S 592 Bertone Carabo Alfa Romeo - green metallic - Bertone 1968 concept on Alfa 33 mechanics. Part of the S Dream Cars series, the most sought-after piece in the lot. Scissor doors, amber windows, inscription "BERTONE - CARABO". Yellow / red base.
5. Politoys S.M. Ferrari 512 S - red - Flash Wheels / Wheels Zero Super Blitz - Late variant with special low-friction wheels and blister stickered "FLASH WHEELS RUOTE ZERO SUPER BLITZ". Side inscription "FERRARI - 512 S". Base with raised POLITOYS S.M. lettering.

Original cases present but showing typical Politoys wear: yellowed/matted plastic, some small cracks and dust inside. See detailed photos. Sold as shown, in the condition they are in – perfect for a collection.
