Alfa Romeo SZ Matchbox 1997 1:56 Loose Silver

The diecast model depicts the distinctive Alfa Romeo SZ coupé, whose shape is characterised by its wedge-shaped profile, low roofline and broad, substantial rear section. The model is made from a combination of metal and plastic, and its length is approximately 73 mm, corresponding to a scale of around 1:56. The silver paint is heavily worn, particularly along the edges and raised bodywork, with red remnants of an earlier paint finish visible in several places. The original gold wheels provide a clear colour accent and emphasise the miniature's sporty character. The metal chassis features a replicated drivetrain, enhancing the model's display appeal when viewed from underneath. The model is in loose condition, with numerous scuffs and areas of missing paint; however, its shape remains clear and the main body details are easily recognisable. Catalogue number 156 is present on the chassis. The model was manufactured in China in 1997.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
