Datsun 280Zx Zylmex '80 Red 1:58

The design of this diecast model draws attention to the long, sloping bonnet and low-slung front, where the headlamp covers and chrome bumper create a distinctive profile. The model combines a metal body with plastic trim elements, while the black wheels with white rings and five bright spots provide a characteristic accent. The paintwork is an intense red with green and black stripes; white number 12 markings are visible on the bonnet and side panels, while the front spoiler and silver front emphasise its sporty character. Despite the lack of windows in the casting, the interior remains visible through the finished chrome bumper elements and interior details visible beneath the roof frame. The T-top roof allows the interior to be viewed, while the large rear spoiler completes the silhouette of a period racing coupé. The casting measures 77 mm in length, corresponding to a scale of approximately 1:58 compared with the original car, which was approximately 4.4–4.5 m long. This Zylmex diecast model from the early 1980s features simple lines and details typical of budget castings, which still hold collectible value for the appropriate collections.

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.
