I wasn't even aware such a car exists. Very interesting.

I think 4 different versions were available...

Wasn't a driver at the time 😄

But I haven't even seen these on the road, ever. And I live next to a city that LOVES expensive/creative/odd cards.

I think they only made like 400 worldwide

Why does this look like a 1$ Matchbox paired with an acrylic box? 

It is like the Matchbox is not even allowed to do anything better.

Why did they call it a 1995? Harlequin Golf’s are 1996 model year car. I own #125 of the 200 US run.
